Notes

  • I usually microwave potato for 2 or 3 mins (wash, prick in 2-3 places). This ensures no water is retained in the potato, so no sogginess.
  • Potato, maida are added for binding. If your cutlet breaks, you can add more maida or even grind a bread slice and mix with the mixture for troubleshooting. Adjust spice accordingly. 
  • Grinding paneer in mixer ensures really fine crumble and helps in binding easily.
