Poha Cutlet
Updated: Dec 1, 2020
Here's a delicious and healthy snack recipe: Poha cutlet filled with the goodness of millets and greens.
Poha, aka, flattened or beaten rice can be used to make crispy cutlets in less than 20min. Since poha does not need much soaking, and is ready to use, this cutlet makes a quick and easy snack. In this recipe, I have used millet poha, more specifically made of Jowar. The same recipe can be followed for regular rice poha as well, without any change.
Mint-Coriander chutney/dip/sauce goes very well with this poha cutlet.
These cutlets can be deep-fried or air-fried. Both methods are explained in this post. Please don't forget to check out my red-lentil based kebab/cutlet recipe that I posted here. And also do take a look at some of my other air-fryer recipes and millet recipes.
So, what are you cooking today?
