When you feel the craving for a fine crunchy and yummy taste to satisfy your palate, pamper yourself with a healthy and tasty ‘Fish cutlet’. There is not much of oil used in this dish as the cutlets are shallow fried. The breadcrumbs give the cutlets a crispy and firm coating. While you make the cutlets ensure to mix the ingredients well to a smooth and tight patty. This will ensure that the cutlets do not break-up. Cutlets serve as a good starter or snack. We relished the cutlets with sandwiches and soup, for dinner.
