Add 1/2 cup of finely chopped and sautéed vegetables like carrots, peas, and French beans to the mixture for extra nutrition and texture.

Spices like turmeric, ginger, and garlic not only add immense flavor but also contain compounds with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that support overall health.
One serving of three chicken cutlets contains approximately 350-400 calories, depending on the amount of oil absorbed during frying.
Chicken cutlets can be part of a balanced diet. They are a good source of protein from chicken. However, since they are shallow-fried, they are higher in fat and calories. For a healthier version, you can bake or air-fry them.
Yes, you can bake them. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Place the coated cutlets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spray them lightly with oil, and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.
The key is to have a well-bound, not-too-moist mixture. Ensure you drain the boiled chicken and potatoes thoroughly. Chilling the shaped patties for at least 20-30 minutes before frying also helps them firm up and hold their shape.
Absolutely. You can prepare and shape the cutlets (unfried) and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. You can also freeze the shaped and coated cutlets for up to a month. Fry them directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
For a gluten-free coating, you can use crushed cornflakes, powdered oats, or coarse almond flour. Ensure your other spices, like garam masala, are also certified gluten-free.
