Golden Fingers

Appetizers make a good evening snack for children. They look forward to something new everyday. It’s a sure way to get the fussy ones to eat vegetables easily.

Cutlets are a hit with young and younger people. There are n-number of ways to cutlets – rolls, burgers, tikkis, etc…

One more is the Gold Coin. To serve with soups or as a snack, it is shaped here like fingers. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do at home. This one is a crowd pleaser.

Crisp base topped with goodness of vegetables - a lure for sure
