Shallow Fry the Cutlets
Assemble and Serve
Replace the chicken with 300g of crumbled paneer or a mix of boiled vegetables like peas, carrots, and beans.
Instead of shallow frying, bake the cutlets at 200°C (400°F) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, or air fry at 180°C (360°F) for 15-18 minutes until golden and crisp.
Increase the amount of green chillies or add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the spice mix for an extra kick.
Use gluten-free breadcrumbs for coating and serve the cutlets in gluten-free buns or with a side salad.
