Kerala style Chicken Cutlets, a favourite snack of mine and it brings back many memories from my childhood whenever I have these Cutlets.
The texture of this cutlet and the embedded flavours make me crave for more. I cant stop at one or two, I will just keep on munching on them if a whole plate of these cutlets are in front me.
You can use the same recipe for making any other meat cutlets too.
