#Starters - These poha (Beaten rice) cutlets are ideal as appetizers along with some green chutney or ketchup. They are very easy to make and very delicious at the same time. For a healthier version I have used brown poha and brown bread. Finely chopped or grated veggies too can be added to make them more nutritious.
