Broccoli Oats Cutlets
19 February, 2018
Broccoli is an edible green plant in the cabbage family whose large flowering head is eaten as a vegetable.
Broccoli is often boiled or steamed but may be eaten raw.
It is healthy and nutritious green vegetable which is used in many recipes. In this recipe I have prepared Broccoli cutlets, using broccoli, potatoes, onion and seasoned with some masalas and rolled in toasted rolled oats.
