Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Paneer and Mango Cutlets:
- For extra flavor, marinate the paneer in a little lemon juice and salt for 15 minutes before mixing.
- If the cutlet mixture is too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time until it is easy to handle.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the cutlets. Fry them in batches to ensure even browning and crispiness.
- For a spicier salsa, add a pinch of red chili powder or some finely chopped green chilies.
