Tofu Cutlet

I have started experimenting with homemade Tofu. I prepared these cutlets and my hubby loved them so much. It contains less oil and healthy ingredients. You can relish it without any side dish. But if you want some, you can go for tomato sauce or mint chutney. It is very easy to prepare these cutlets. I used ajwain seeds for the flavour. Hope you like it. I prepared two big hearts and a small heart. One for Daddy, one for mommy and the tiny one for the little one. This was the second batch. The first batch did not last long, so I couldn't take a snap. Sending this to Winter Warmers by Veggie Hut. and CWS-Ajwain by Seasoned and Dressed started by Priya.
