Tips for Crunchy and Yummy Cutlets

Sometimes when you fry the cutlets, they are crunchy outside but soggy inside. Definitely you will be disappointed so much. Do not worry. Just follow these tips and enjoy yummy crunchy cutlets :

- Use fresh bread crumbs made at home for the coating of cutlets. If you buy from the market they are mostly 10-15 days stale. Stale crumbs will not give you a nice flavor.

-Always use bread crumbs for binding the dough instead of soaked or dry bread because bread has already moisture which will make your dough sticky. When you use bread crumbs in the dough it will soak the moisture of potato and dough will not be soggy.

-Mixing of a small quantity of Poha will enhance the flavor of cutlets and help to avoid sticky dough.

-Never forget to add 1-2 spoons of lemon juice in the dough. It will also enhance the flavor of cutlets to great value.

-Fry the cutlets on medium heat for super crunchiness. On high flame they will burn; and on low flame, they will absorb too much oil.

-Coat the cutlets with bread crumbs thoroughly. Gently press it with hands to avoid falling of bread crumbs in oil during frying.

-Always use fresh oil for cooking. This will also make a lot of difference in the flavor of cutlets.

-Never use mustard oil for frying. Ricela oil is good for frying anything as it has a high smoking point.

-Fry maximum 2-3 cutlets at a time. In this way, your cutlets will not absorb oil.

-Never forget to add the compulsory ingredients for making the dough like Poha, bread crumbs, lemon juice, chaat masala, potatoes. After this, you can add any type of vegetable like carrots, capsicum, dry fruit like Kaju tukda, corn kernels, etc according to your taste.
