Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Noodle Cutlets

For extra flavor, add finely chopped onions or chilies to the noodle mixture.
If the mixture is too wet, add a little more chickpea flour to help it bind.
Don't overcrowd the pan when frying – this will lower the temperature of the oil and result in soggy cutlets.
Experiment with different types of noodles and spices to create your own unique variations.
