Yummy sweet potato cutlets are crispy and crunchy on the outside and super soft on the inside – they will just melt in your mouth. The best part is, they can be made ahead of time – just shape them and store in refrigerator. When ready to eat, cook until crispy- they are so light, d-licious and full of flavor!
If not using it as a vrat recipe, then add breadcrumbs or cornflour to the mixture. It binds pretty well and adds extra crunchiness. Stuff it in a bun, top with chutneys, and enjoy!!
