PUMPKIN CUTLET (INDIAN SNACK RECIPE)

My last blog  was of making Lauki pakora .It was appreacited though it was a simple recipe.

Today I am coming with pumpkin cutlet .

.Pumpkin is  nutritious orange vegetable and highly dense food. Pumpkin is rich in vitamin A ,C and 

E and antioxidants .

In summer it is a good and healthy vegetable .It helps to fight against sun damage and  wrinkles .

Most of people dislike pumpkin for its insipid taste .I also do not like its bland taste. Kids do not like this 

vegetable .For this I   experimented to make healthy ,crispy and crunchy pumpkin cutlet.

Here is the recipe .
