About Cutlet

Cutlet recipes are a favourite among everyone and I would love to try out other cutlet recipes made using vegetables and potatoes too.

But since ramadan month is going on I thought of sharing some non veg recipes which are highly requested during this time...

Here the chicken is boiled and mixed with boiled mashed potatoes along with some herbs and spices which gives a delicious taste to the cutlet.
