Cutlet similar somewhat to schnitzel is a very popular Indian snack and various versions are there. The British have introduced to Indians and most Eastern part of Indian people enjoy. My favourite of course is Mutton cutlet which is from mutton mince meat. But, I’ve been thinking that making from oats would be an interesting vegetarian option. I made it completely vegetarian and the binding agent had been oats powder which works far better than cornstarch or any other binding agent. Recipe is as easy as it can be
