Choode ke Cutlet

With My mom gone vegetarian,owing to her meds which also put a lot of restrictions on milk products and many vegetables too, the poor thing aint got much of an option . Well, she's not much of a foodie, and I always told her "khana aap jaise logon ke liye nahi bana hai", but then, given the restrictions her meds impose ,she does land into a sorry state with almost nothing to eat. So I decided to give her taste buds a fun ride. Well, I find it a little difficult to get something vegetarian taste great,and with so many vegetables cut down, it was tough. But never mind, thanks to the guy who invented the internet and Jai Ho Sanjeev Kapoor,he really is the God of Indian Food.
