Instructions
1.

Make small balls out of the mixture.

Pat it flat to small round shape . Also you can make it oval, heart shape or any shape desire.

Take all purpose flour in a small cup.

Drop the cutlets gently in hot oil.

(Make sure the heat of the oil is adjusted well, else the cutlet may absorb oil.)
