A cutlet is like a patty. It is a flattened, usually round, piece of meat or vegetables that have been mashed together to form a mixture. This mixture has the core ingredient i.e. minced meat or boiled and mashed veggies which are then coated in a liquid batter to be tossed in breadcrumbs. The breadcrumbs lend the cutlets a crispy and crunchy exterior upon frying. These cutlets can then be enjoyed as snacks or appetisers with a side of tomato sauce and coriander chutney. They are filling, crunchy and delicious, best to be served at house parties. If you're having a party this Friday, go ahead and make them for your guests.
