CRUSH ON CUTLETS


Cutlets are a concept that has seen a number of changes and adaptations as it came along and shook hands with our cuisine and cooking style from the West and various parts of the world during its culinary voyage. It is a concept that deals with ingredients with a complimenting nature coupled with a perfect pinch of spice and flavors, a dash of creativity, and a good addition of love and passion while making them.

A few points to keep in mind when we do cutlets are that the ingredients should be picked fresh, should go along well for their taste and nature, must be cooked well where needed and in case of non-veg special care is to be taken when it comes to using mince-meat or keema, even with fish, prawns and assorted seafood we need to be sure of the proper cooking time and serving temperatures to avoid contamination and other health-related issues.

Also Try: BEING BREAD FRIENDLY

Binding agents play a significant role when it comes to the cutlet-making process, we usually use mashed potatoes, corn flour, maida, arrowroot, bread crumbs, and a thick white sauce called panada. We also have various other options as well like using boiled grated sweet potatoes, oats flour, soy flour, multi-grain mix, vegan options like almond meal flour etc which can also be used to make quality cutlets.
