Frequently Asked Questions
These simple, flavorful cutlets make use of raw mango and potatoes as the key ingredients, but you can, of course, tweak things around and add more veggies into the mix if you want to.
Grated carrots, zucchini, bell peppers and onions are good options, but remember to let the tanginess of the raw mango shine through. 
Breadcrumbs act as a binding agent for the cutlets, and help hold their shape together by soaking the excess moisture from the other ingredients. If you don’t have breadcrumbs or are just looking for an alternative, substituting with chickpea flour or semolina is the next best thing.
You definitely can! One of the best things about these air fried raw mango cutlets is the fact that they can be made in a big batch, and then frozen or stored for later. Then, when you want to enjoy them, all you need to do is air fry them and you’re sorted.
The tamarind chutney can also be made for weeks in advance. Just remember to use a glass jar to store and refrigerate it. 
Any leftover raw mango cutlets (or the batch of extras you made), can be transferred to an airtight container in a single layer, or on top of each other with a sheet of parchment paper between each cutlet before being refrigerated or frozen. This helps keep the cutlets from sticking to each other.
Tips & Tricks to Make the Raw Mango Cutlets
Making these cutlets and the mango chutney may be simple enough, but keeping these additional tips and tricks in mind can really help.
- To make the cutlets crispy, add a bit of rice flour into the mix before you shape them.
- If the cutlet mixture seems too dry and crumbly, you can soften it by adding a bit of fresh yogurt into the mixture.
- Want to give these raw mango cutlets a bit of a nutritional bump? You can add grated paneer (cottage cheese) into the mix.
- Don’t have the roasted peanuts that this recipe calls for? You can skip it and add some toasted sesame seeds instead.
- Not too fond of the sourness of the raw mango? You can balance it out by adding some sugar into the mixture.
- When air frying the cutlets, remember not to overcrowd the basket, and leave a little room between each cutlet to ensure that hot air circulates all throughout the basket, and they are cooked well from all the sides.
Serving Ideas & Suggestions
These crispy and flavorful air fried raw mango cutlets, of course, taste perfect when paired with the tangy tamarind chutney. You can also serve it with any other chutney or dip of your choice, or just stick to the classic tomato ketchup if you don’t want to put in a lot of effort.
