    Hi Simi,

    Thank you for your kind words. I shape it with help of cookie cutter. Based on my limited experience, I would recommend the following things. Store in fridge for 1/2 to 1 hour to cool before you fry then when you fry make sure oil is hot. Don't crowd your pan and leave space between the pieces and give the cultes adequate time to cook on one side before flipping them over,because they can fall apart easily if you move them around too much. Hope this help.

    Happy Cooking!

    Thanks for the recipe, going to try your way for Christmas this year, since I had only tried with canned tuna so far. How many cutlets on average can you make with the amounts listed?

    haa! thats a nice one… We have been trying fish for the last three days, different types and all went good.

    you know what?… I tried the mathi curry from your blog… and it came out really well. I hope there kodam puli was a bit more but a single piece did not remain while we started to eat.

    when I write puli(it is malayalam.. cooking puli and not leopard)..

    It has been quiet easy for me.. I want to cook something new.. I see whats available and just search for it in the blogs I visit often and I am thankful to all the recipes you post.

    Thanks for sharing the cutlet.
    Waiting for more interesting "FAT-FREE" recipes 🙂
