Hey guys!

Cutlets are my go-to snack. No matter what time of the day it is, I love making and eating them.

There’s just something about that crispy outside and soft, flavorful inside that makes them irresistible! I’ve made so many varieties of cutlets before, and this Russian Chicken Cutlet is one of my favorites.

This recipe is packed with flavors from boneless chicken, fresh veggies, and the perfect mix of spices.

The best part? You can make them ahead and store the mixture in the fridge for a day. So, whenever you feel like munching on something delicious, you can just fry them up in minutes. Serve them with tomato ketchup or mayo, and you’ve got yourself a tasty, crispy snack!

Trust me, once you take a bite, you’ll know why these cutlets are so special! Let’s get into the recipe.

Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:
Can I use bone-in chicken instead?

Yes, but you’ll need to remove the bones after cooking and shred the meat properly.

What if I don’t have a pressure cooker?

You can boil the chicken in a covered pot until it becomes tender. This might take 20-25 minutes.

Can I use a food processor for shredding?

Yes, but pulse it lightly to avoid turning the chicken into a paste.

Can I add other vegetables?

Yes, bell peppers, peas, or corn can be great additions.

Can I adjust the spice level?

Absolutely! Reduce the chili powder for a milder taste or add extra spices if you like it spicier.

Why add maida?

It helps bind the mixture and creates a smooth texture for shaping the cutlets.

Can I use any milk alternative?

Yes, you can use dairy-free milk, but dairy milk gives the best consistency.

How do I know it’s ready?

The mixture should be thick and hold together when shaped into patties.

Can I skip the spring onions?

Yes, but they add a fresh, slightly sweet flavor that enhances the taste.

How long should I let it cool?

About 10-15 minutes to make it easier to handle while shaping.

Why refrigerate?

Chilling helps the patties firm up, making them easier to coat and fry.

Can I bake instead of frying?

Yes! Bake at 200°C for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway for even crispiness.

Can I use an egg substitute?

Yes, a flour-water slurry or milk can work as an alternative.

What other dips go well with these cutlets?

Garlic mayo, mint chutney, or a spicy schezwan sauce pair well with them!
