Notes

1)Beetroots dont need too much cooking, just get the raw smell out of it is enough.
2)You can add paneer instead of tofu. You can also add a boiled mashed potato instead of tofu.
3)Adding crumbled bread binds the mix together. You can add some breadcrumbs too.
4)I made fresh breadcrumbs by running few wheat bread slices in a mixer till it is coarse.
5)You can deep fry the pattice instead of shallow frying. 
6)You can serve the cutlet as it is with some ketchup. It taste good.
7)I used wheat dinner rolls, you can use any buns.
8)You can add lettuce, pickled peppers and cheese in burger too.
9)Chilling the pattice in fridge for 30 mins make them to hold together really well.
10)Instead of dipping them in cornflour mix, you can use egg too.
11)When pan frying the pattice, fry them on a low to medium heat till they turn crispy.
