Raw Banana Cutlets With Raisins

Cutlets

And my obsession with cutlets (a.k.a tikkis) continues.

I mean what else does one do? It is quite a balancing act to feed two kids who have very varied tastes when it comes to food. Of course, this does not hold good for junk food of any kind, shape or color! And like this was not hard already, how about doing for three meals a day! If you have kids you know the war that ensues at mealtimes, right?

But I think I have finally found a saving dish. At my home, tikkis never disappoint! One can control the spice quotient without compromising on the taste and camouflage as many veggies as you like within it. Thus making them a complete meal. The other benefits being, the kids feed themselves with minimal mess! Now, isn’t that a blessing? While I make these cutlets, I always hide some raisins or sultanas inside and make it into an edible “treasure hunt” for the kids. Not sure how much they enjoy it though, but it definitely keeps them guessing.

This time it’s the turn of the raw bananas to get mashed into yummy cutlets. Another easy-peasy recipe for you. Let me know how the kids enjoyed this “treasure hunt”!
