Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Spinach Cutlets
- For extra crispy cutlets, you can bread them again after forming the patties.
- If the mixture is too wet, add more breadcrumbs to achieve the desired consistency for shaping.
- Adjust the amount of green chilies according to your preferred spice level.
- For a healthier option, you can bake the cutlets in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
