Cutlet is a tasty snack made with vegetables or meat or fish. You can tailor it to your choice and enjoy the variations. Since it is shallow fried it is more towards healthy version too.
Ingredients
- 3-4 Potatoes (cooked)
- 2 Cup Chicken (Cooked and shredded)
- 1½ Cup Onion(Chopped)
- 1 tbsp Ginger Garlic paste
- 1 Green Chilli (Thinly chopped)
- 1 tbsp Pepper Powder
- 1 tsp Red Chilli powder
- 1 tsp Turmeric powder
For Coating
- 1 Egg (Beaten)

Instructions
- Cook Chicken in a pressure cooker for about 3 whistles by adding salt and turmeric powder. Shred it into small pieces. (Remove bones if any)
- Also Pressure cook Potatoes for about 1 or 2 whistles and smash it and keep aside.
- In a thick bottomed pan, add oil, Onions, thinly chopped green chilli and ginger garlic paste. Saute it well enough.
- When the onions are done, add salt, pepper powder and chilli powder. Saute it.
- Add shredded chicken to the onions and saute.
- Time to add potatoes.
- Blend it well with a spatula. (you can also give a slight pulse in a mixie jar for even consistency)
- When its cooled, take a small lemon sized dough and roll it with your palms and shape it to round shape and flatten it smoothly like a patty.
- Next, the patties need to be dipped in the beaten egg, followed by bread crump coating.
- Carefully arrange in a plate and keep in refrigerator for about half an hour for it to set properly. (At this stage the patties can even be frozen for a week or two.)
- You can shallow/ deep fry it depending on your preference. I prefer shallow frying, so as to minimise the oil consumption for healthy lifestyle.
- Serve it hot with tea/coffee. Can also be used as a side dish for rice.
