    A Cutlet or Croquette is a popular snack made from grounded meat or vegetables. Chicken Cutlets are my favorite. We have a famous food chain in Kerala known as the "Indian Coffee House". Again, popular for its Ghee Roast, Kerala Poratta and Chicken Curry, we also get yummy Chicken Cutlets there. My fond memories go back to those days when we visited these restaurants on our way to Dad's home. Haa! South Indian Filter Coffee and hot Chicken Cutlets! You simply go Yummmm....

    This recipe is based on how we make in Kerala- the southern state of India. Easy to make, this is undoubtedly going to be your go-to dish when you've guests at home.

      Simply yum! Cutlets in any form are welcome. Your recipe looks easy to make. Back in Andhra, we make cutlets from raw bananas and peanuts. That's also a yummy treat!

      Chicken cutlet is a very easy to make dish. One advantage of this is you can prepare the keema (cutlets before frying) & store it in your freezer for 1 month. It comes to your rescue when you have a surprise guest for lunch or dinner. It can be also served as an evening snack.

      We do a very similar dish here in Italy, to reused meat leftovers. We don't use spices, but all the rest is basically teh same. We call it 'polpette'. My draddad usd to do them πŸ™‚

        I tried a few without breadcrumbs. But failed miserably! They were falling apart.
        Please tell me if you used any other ingredient as a binding agent.
