7. 7.Remove Boiled Potatoes

   Peel the skin off the boiled potatoes. Mash them thoroughly using a potato masher or by hand until smooth.

    Heat cold-pressed gingelly oil in a large wok over a wood fire until hot. Carefully place the coated cutlets into the hot oil in batches. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, turning occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a tray.
