Notes

Pulse-grind the cabbage to finely chop it.
  • Add salt to the grated cabbage and let it rest for 5–10 minutes to release excess water.
  • Squeeze out the water from the cabbage to achieve the perfect texture for the cutlets.
  • If the cabbage retains too much water, add more flour to bind the cutlet mixture properly.
  • Poha absorbs moisture and helps in binding the cutlet mixture.
  • You can use cornflour, maida (all-purpose flour), or rice flour as a substitute for arrowroot (tapkir) powder.
  • Avoid using excessive flour, as it can make the cutlets dense and heavy.
  • Freeze the sevai-coated cutlets for 10 minutes to help the outer layer set properly.
  • You can use breadcrumbs instead of roasted thin sevaiya (vermicelli).
  • Fry the cutlets on a medium-high flame for a crispy and evenly cooked texture.
