Baked Broccoli Cutlet ( Burger Patties )

Ever since Vardhini posted her event Lunch box ideas with broccoli ,I wished to try out this veggie.I never used it for curries or side dishes,just added sometimes to salads.Every day there was some one posting an item with broccoli ,so came out this lovely recipe of cutlet..and friends its a very tasty snack or can be used as patties with burgers.I tried the same style of my chicken cutlets,you can view that recipe here.Only thing I just omitted the bread crumbs part and egg white dipping just as to make it much more simpler.The broccoli washed and florets separated was shredded in a blender and then added to the mix.That made it easier to cook and shape it well into cutlets.Every one liked it and my kids liked the most.
