This Beet and Potato Cutlet/Burger recipe is quick and easy to make and a great way to get beets into your everyday meals. Jump to Recipe
I keep getting beets from the grocery store and they never get used up. I got bored of adding them in salads or making Beet Koshimbeer, so I decided to make a cutlet/burger out of it.
Beets add the slight sweetness to the burger. Some extra black pepper works wonders in combination with this sweetness.

Can you suggest some dressings and toppings for this in a sandwich?
cilantro or mint cilantro chutney, mango chutney, tamarind chutney will all work https://www.veganricha.com/?s=chutney
That is good for Indian taste, but is there any way to give it a mild western taste?
bbq sauce or ketchup works. In the patty, add italian herbs, or poultry seasoning blend or cajun seasoning.
I have access to some lovely organic beets at the moment and I keep looking for new ideas to use them. I started planning to make this, but somehow it ended up being aloo bonda with the addition of grated fried beetroot. They tasted great and the pretty colour inside made me smile. Thank you for the inspiration to put beets & potato together (and the aloo bonda recipe (I use that one a lot) in your book 🙂 )
thats awesome!! SO glad you tried this. Been a while since i made it
