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.

Spread a little oil over the dough and keep it covered for 15 to 20 minutes to set.bhatura

Grease hands with oil again and smoothen the dough. Spread dry refined flour over the hands and make dough balls from the dough.

bhatura

To roll out the dough balls to make bhaturas firstly grease the rolling pin and board with a bit of oil. After that pick up a dough ball and press it with hands like and roll out. Meanwhile place a wok on flame for the oil to heat.

  • To check if the oil is hot enough break a little dough and put it into the oil. The dough should instantly float over the oil as we need the oil to be hot enough for frying the bhature.
  • Make sure you grate the potatoes finely with a fine grater so that they are kneaded well with the dough.
  • Add little quantity of water while you knead the dough because the moisture from the potatoes goes into the dough.
  • You can add Dahi and baking soda to make the bhatura soft and puffy. Add semolina to keep the bhatura puffy for a longer time.
