Aromatics & Spices
Instructions
Prepare the Cutlet Batter
- Mix the poha (flattened rice) into the idli batter. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the poha to soften and absorb the batter. Add the finely chopped onion, green chilies, ginger, coriander, and salt to the batter. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
Shape and Fry the Cutlets
- Form small, flat patties or cutlets from the batter. Heat the oil in a deep pan or kadai over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the cutlets to the pan, ensuring not to overcrowd it.
Cook the Cutlets
- Fry the cutlets until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides. This will take approximately 2-3 minutes per side, depending on the size of the cutlets and your stovetop's heat. Remove the cutlets from the pan and place them on a wire rack or paper towel to drain excess oil.
Serve and Enjoy
- Serve the hot, crispy Idli Batter Cutlets immediately with your favorite chutney, such as coconut chutney or green chutney.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Idli Batter Cutlets
- For extra crispy cutlets, add a tablespoon of semolina (rava) to the batter.
- Don't overcrowd the pan while frying. This will ensure even cooking and prevent the cutlets from becoming soggy.
- Adjust the amount of green chilies according to your spice preference. For a milder flavor, use fewer chilies.
- If you don't have fresh coriander, you can use a pinch of dried coriander powder instead.
