Tips

• Use a ricer to mash the Potato. This way you can avoid lumps.
• Don't put Potato in a blender or mixie. The result will be gummy.
• Instead of buying Chicken pieces, buy minced Chicken.
• Taste the first Cutlet and adjust the ingredients.

For a low fat dish

• Don't add Coconut.
• Use only Egg whites.
• Instead of deep frying, shallow fry them i.e. fry them in a skillet and add little oil around them.

Serving Tips

Serve them with Tomato ketchup or Green Chutney.
