2. Divide the mixture into big lemon sized balls , then flatten it like patties or vada. Beat the eggs in a bowl. If you don’t like eggs, mix cornflour with a little water to make a slightly thick paste. Keep bread crumbs ready. If you don’t have breadcrumbs, you can toast the bread or place it in oven to get crisp and powder it in the mixer.
3. Dip each patty in the beaten egg mixture or liquid cornflour mix and then coat it with bread crumbs on all the sides. Repeat the same for the rest of the cutlets.
