Chicken Cutlet

Chicken Cutlet

Cutlet is an evening appetizer/snack which goes well with tea or coffee. It is basically made of mashed potatoes with veggies, chicken, beef or fish. You can make the cutlet and freeze it for up to a week, and just deep fry when needed. Here I’ve made chicken cutlet to start with.

  5. In a bowl, mash the drained potato and mix the chicken masala with it (before making small balls, check the salt taste; if the salt is not enough to sprinkle some salt and mix it again.All the ingredients are already cooked; so don’t worry about checking the taste)89

Notes

  1. If the cutlet mix consistency is watery to make the cutlet balls, add some coarsely ground bread. Please have a few pieces of bread when you try cutlet for the first time. It could come in handy.
  2. Beat the egg-white before dipping to make the step easy.
  3. No need to deep fry more than 5-6 minutes as all the ingredients are already cooked.
