How to store cutlets

But, before using it make sure you cool them at room temperature, then deep into the maida water mixture and give a crumb coat before frying oil.

How to avoid breaking the cutlet while frying
As veggies have a lot of moisture in them if the temperature of the oil is not perfect while deep frying then these veg cutlets automatically absorb a lot of oil and ultimately will end up breaking.
So to avoid these I have two suggestions for you :
- First one, while preparing to stuff for veg cutlets mash it properly, cool it down then add crushed cornflakes, breadcrumbs, or crushed poha whatever you like. This will help to reduce moisture in the stuffing.
ย
- The second one, if you are not a pro cooker donโt do deep frying just do shallow frying as Iโm using, if your cooking temperature is not perfect your cutlet may break while frying.
