MINTY MUTTON CUTLETS
This is my mom-in-law's recipe. Very simple ingredients goes in the minced mutton. Everytime when we travel back to Kenya from India she would prepare this for us. Mostly as cutlets or she would would fill in the same stuffing in the puffs. She would pack it in a container and tell us to have it through the journey. It is so very delicious that we would finish it during the transit hours. Traditionally done with lot of oil in it, but I have prepared them like "chicken tikka". I wanted them to be dry to at least lessen my calorie intake. As christmas season is on I am certainly watching my diet. Whether I lose or not at least maintaining the current weight is really a big issue for me. Weight watchers would definitely agree with me.
You can enjoy this cutlets as a snack or have it in your burger and relish.
2. Remove the pan from fire and let the mix to cool down. Add the mashed potatoes, peas, bread crumbs now and mix well to form a dough.
3. Make uniform sized balls from the dough and later flatten it and cook on a thick frying pan by brushing the cutlets with olive oil.
4. Cook under low fire with the pan closed with a lid. Serve with the sauces or dips of your choice.
The next day I used the cutlets in the burgers which was very yummy.
