The key to making crispy rava cutlet at home are
- Firstly, I made cutlet mixture with rava and potatoes. Potatoes give a creamy and smooth texture and rava gives crispiness to cutlet. You can also add vegetables of your choice to make them more nutritious.
- Bread crumbs coating provides a crisp and hard texture, which would hold the shape of cutlet while deep frying. however, instead of bread crumbs, you may use vermicelli for a crunchy texture
- Lastly, fry cutlet on medium flame till it becomes crisp, you can also shallow fry it in pan. You can try any method while making cutlet.
