Mince Meat Cutlets
The mince meat cutlet has been a staple of every Mangalorean household and is a much loved meal accompaniment/anytime snack. I have grown up tasting cutlets that were usually prepared for small gatherings/parties at home & every grandma/mom would know to whip up one in no time with the help of an apparatus which is the ancestor of today's food processor. All ingredients would go into the mincing machine & out came the mixture, ready to be fried into patties. The favourite of every child who steals one from the kitchen before dinner was announced & ofcourse a great accompaniment for those high on spirits!
