Spicy and Gluten-free Potato and Vegetable Cutlets

This recipe is a remake of an Indian main dish that we used to enjoy a lot. Recently, I ran across the old recipe and decided to remake it gluten-free for us to enjoy again. It went perfectly, and the kids really enjoyed this dinner. Even though I made it a bit spicy–it was a hit! I like this recipe for meatless Mondays.
I hope all of you will go through your family’s favorite recipes, and try to make them gluten-free. I have found that being able to adapt old favorite recipes to gluten-free ones, makes having a gluten-free home more pleasurable. I can still pass down recipes from previous generations, and I note the changes I make for current health issues. This makes for more happy family memories.
Happy gluten-free living! Enjoy!
