Directions :

Getting ready:

Take 2 tbsp refined flour in a bowl and add little water to it. Mix it well till it becomes smooth. Add water in less quantity first and mix the batter well. Adding too much water all at once makes difficult to remove lumps from the batter. For 2 tbsp of refined flour 4 to 5 tbsp of water is used. We need a batter with running consistency.

sooji cutlet Making:

Heat a pan with 2 tsp oil and then to it add 1 tsp ginger paste, 2 green chilies (finely chopped), ½ cup of cabbage (finely chopped), ½ cup grated carrot, ½ cup finely chopped capsicum and sauté all the veggies well for 1 to 1.5 minutes.

Now add 2 cups of water to the pan followed by ¾ tsp salt or to taste. Cover with the lid to bring it to boil quickly.

sooji cutlet

When the water starts simmering, add 1 cup of semolina to it. Mix it well and turn of the flame. Cover the vessel and keep aside for 5 minutes to set.

sooji cutlet

To the refined batter add ¼ tsp salt or to taste, ¼ tsp coarsely ground black pepper powder and mix well.

sooji cutlet

sooji cutlet

Transfer the dough into a bowl to let it cool down and then start making the cutlets. Meanwhile take oil in a wok and place it in flame for heating. Keep the flame low.

sooji cutlet

To make cutlets, grease your hands with some oil and pinch small lump from the dough. Bind the dough into a round dough ball and then flatten it gently giving it a square shape. Keep these cutlets a bit thin and not very thick. Thin cutlets come out crunchier and tasty.

sooji cutlet

For making oval shape cutlets, roll the dough into a long log shape and then press it gently little thin and give an oval shape. Cutlets are ready. Likewise continue making the cutlets until the whole dough is utilized.

sooji cutlet

Now coat the prepared cutlets with bread crumbs. First dip the cutlet in the refined flour batter, and then cover it in bread crumbs. Press the cutlets slightly with your hands to set the bread crumbs nicely. Cover all the cutlets with bread crumbs like this.

sooji cutlet

Check if the oil is sufficiently hot for frying the cutlets. For this place your hand over the wok and check if it is hot enough. Oil is hot enough as you can feel the heat on your hand.

sooji cutlet

Gently slide the cutlets into the oil to fry. Put the flame to medium. Press the cutlets and slide them into oil. Slide as many cutlets as possible into the wok. Fry the cutlets till they turn golden brown in color, flip the sides and continue frying.

sooji cutlet

When cutlets are golden brown, tilt the cutlet with a slotted ladle on the side of the wok so the extra oil drains back to the wok. Place the cutlets on a plate covered with absorbent paper to remove excess oil. Similarly fry rest of the cutlets as well.

sooji cutlet

Crispy on outside and soft inside semolina cutlets are ready. It takes 5 minutes to fry the cutlets at once.

  • Cutlets can be made big or small as according to choice. These can be given round, square or oval shape as desired.
