In this beetroot cutlet recipe i have not boiled the beetroot and its not necessary.You can also make cutlets by dipping them in the cornflour or maida/ refined flour slury or you can also use gram flour batter if you want to avoid using corn flour or refined flour.

Then the cutlets can be rolled in dry breadcrumbs before air fry/deep frying or shallow fry. You can also coat with semolina (rava). The coating of semolina gives this tikki a crunchy texture as well as taste.
