Our Grandfaters were always taking about this Foul cutlets. I was kid then. But I was very much curious about this name. I heard about Cutlet, but "Foul Cutlet"!!! What is this? But thanks to Bengali Novels. They told me the secret. It is nothing but Chicken Cutlet. Foul means Chicken. If you want to spent little much on evening snacks than the "Tele bhaja", Foul Cutlet is the best option. This type of spicy Chicken Cutlet is not available in any other states except Bengal. But we who are out of Bengal can not taste the original Kolkata Chicken Cutlet. So we compromise our taste with homemade Chicken Cutlets.
In Indian cuisine, a cutlet specifically refers to cooked meat stuffing that is fried with a batter/covering. The meat itself is cooked with spices - onion, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, coriander (cilantro), green chilies, lemon and salt.
