How Do I Store the Leftovers?

Got some leftover breakfast cutlet mixture? You can transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate it for 3-5 days. If you have already shaped and air fried the cutlets, transfer them to a parchment paper lined container and refrigerate. Then, when you want to serve them, all you need to do is reheat them in the air fryer or the microwave. Crispy Semolina and Potato Breakfast Cutlets

Can I Prep the Breakfast Cutlets in Advance?

Yes, you can! The potato mixture can be prepared upto 3 days in advance and refrigerated until it is ready to be used. The semolina portion of the cutlet, however, is best prepared fresh, since curd can turn sour if stored for too long. Yummy Semolina and Potato Breakfast Cutlets

Tips & Tricks to Make the Semolina and Potato Breakfast Cutlets

While making these breakfast cutlets can be a simple process, having these little tips and tricks up your sleeve can really help. 

  • Make sure you use thick or hung curd for the semolina mixture. This will ensure that your end mixture does not turn out too soft. 
  • If your cutlet mixture still seems too soft and you’re having trouble shaping it, you can add some rice flour or chickpea flour into it to make it thick and easier to shape. 
  • To make the cutlets more nutritious and healthy, you can also add in some powdered peanuts or any other powdered nuts or seeds of your choice. 
  • If you don’t have an air fryer, you can also deep or shallow fry the cutlets. Just make sure you use a good quality non-stick pan, and don’t overcrowd it with too many cutlets. 
  • If you’re planning to make these for kids, you can also shape them into tiny balls or nuggets to make them more interesting.
