Vegetable Cocktail Cutlets

 

India celebrates 69th Independence Day on 15th of August. It’s been a long journey from being enslaved, attaining the freedom, regulating the secular democracy, developing on some grounds and failing on others (a tough side of every country), claiming a name on technology and industrial development, attaining  the fame for Oscar winning “slumdog millionaire” (sigh, the international media drama and on the second thought it wasn’t an Indian production, it was aha…the British production 😉) and so on….

Let us celebrate the Independence of India, with some DFT recipes, cheering for the colors of the flag! 

The Saffron! The White! The Green!

No Indian celebration is complete without an array of food, fun and drama. And Independence Day is no less than a festival for any country. Celebrating all that like a big fat Indian family on the 69th Independence of India with nothing less, than some visual treat in the form of FOOD !

For the benefits of main ingredients on diabetes, used in the dish, please refer to the Foot Notes!



This is how I made it

Foot Notes

Non Starchy Vegetables – I love using non starchy vegetables in my recipes for the fact that 1 cup of raw non starchy vegetables account for only 5 gms of carb and good amount of fiber. It is like free money to add to your menu planning and still feeling full! Cauliflower, carrots, beans, spinach and cucumbers are great choices for non starchy vegetables. Click here to learn more about it!

Potatoes – It is a myth that diabetics cannot eat starchy foods like pasta, grain or potatoes. A diabetic can consume these foods, given the fact that these are a part of a well balanced meal and in controlled portions. A good start is 45-60 gms of carbohydrates per main meal. Also, consider the net carb exchange program where total fiber is deducted from total carbs to get the net carb consumption. So incorporate a good amount of non starchy and fiber rich food items to create a balanced meal.

  17. Beautiful, love these cutlets, I’ve made similar ones before, liking your cocktail version, not sure I’d have the patience to form them into coin sized bites :). Happy Independence Day!
