CRUNCHY BREAD CUTLETS

CRUNCHY BREAD CUTLETS

Crisp, crunchy bread and vegetable cutlets made using a flavourful green coconut paste. Don't make these if you are on a diet - they are so wonderful that it is impossible to stop eating them.

You may need to add a little water to the mixture if it becomes too dry and difficult to shape the cutlets.
