FAQs

What is a Beetroot Cutlet?

The beetroot cutlet is one of the many savoury patties primarily made up of grated or mashed beetroot, potatoes, breadcrumbs, and deep-fried or pan-fried spices. It is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making it a popular snack or appetiser. Traditionally, beetroot cutlets would usually go well together with chutneys, yoghurt, or salads to give it an earthy sweetness flavoured with a savoury twist.

Are Beetroot Cutlets healthy?

Absolutely, beetroot cutlets are healthy, especially if prepared with minimal oil. Nutrient-dense beets contain fibre, vitamins such as folate and vitamin C, and antioxidants. These can aid in improving heart health and digestive function and help boost immunity. Good carbohydrates come from this recipe due to adding potatoes and spices such as cumin and coriander, which add extra health benefits to your dish. And if you want to get these cutlets even healthier, you may bake them instead of frying, or just a little oil when pan-frying them.

How long does beetroot cutlet last?

Beetroot cutlets should be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. For long-time storage, you can freeze them. For freezing, put cutlets on a baking tray in a single layer and freeze until stiff. Put the cutlets, once frozen, in a freezer bag or airtight container. You can bake, shallow fry, or deep fry frozen cutlets without thawing when you like to eat them.
