Shape the mixture into small, flattened cutlets or patties. Aim for a uniform size for even cooking.
💡 Consejos de Profesional: If the mixture is too sticky, lightly wet your hands. - 3
Prepare the tamarind chutney: In a small saucepan, combine tamarind pulp, jaggery or sugar, red chili powder, cumin powder, and water. Simmer over low heat, stirring until the jaggery dissolves and the chutney thickens slightly.

Dip each cutlet into the beaten egg, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, coat generously with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
