Makhanae ke Cutlet| lotus seeds cutlet, a no onion no garlic recipe, made using lotus seeds, a perfect snack for the rainy season, and the recipe comes with full video and step-by-step pictures. I have posted a Phool makhana chaat sometime back. After that, I was thinking of making a makhanae ke kheer, but somehow it didn’t happen. I saw a video about using makhana seeds in cutlets a long time ago. So, I decided to make a no-onion, no-garlic cutlet using makhana seeds. It turned out quite well and was a super hit at home. Generally, makhana seeds have an acquired taste that my kids don’t like, but everyone enjoyed these cutlets. Do give this a try, and also check out my no-onion, no-garlic Potato cutlet and the complete collection of no-onion, no-garlic recipes.
