Chicken Keema Cutlet

In Indian cuisine, a cutlet specifically refers to meat (mutton, beef, fish or chicken) stuffing that is fried with a batter/covering. The meat itself is marinated with spices - onion, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, coriander (cilantro), green chillies, lemon and salt. This is then dipped in an egg mix and then in breadcrumbs, and fried in ghee or vegetable oil. The vegetarian version has no meat in it, instead the filling is a combination of mashed potatoes, onion, green chillies, spices and salt, cooked for a bit together. This version is more popular with the dominantly vegetarian Indian population. An example is the Aloo Tikki.
