Tips To Make Perfect Cheese Rava Cutlet:
1) Allow the cheese to completely melt in the milk before adding the semolina (rava).
2) Never ever add salt while boiling the milk. The milk might curdle. Also, the cheese has some amount of saltiness so add the salt accordingly.
3) Add the semolina in small batches to nicely mix the batter. Do not forget to continuously stir the milk while adding the semolina. This trick helps in avoiding any lumps in the mixture.
4) Be patient and allow the semolina mixture to set on the baking tray. This might take 30 minutes to 1 hour. If you are in a hurry keep the baking tray lined with semolina mixture in the freezer for the quick turnaround result.
5) And if you happen to have a jar of good quality bread crumbs then coat the cutlets with them and then pan fry them. I am sure you will love these cutlets even more.
Hope now with these tips on hand you can make absolutely perfect cheese rava cutlets.

It will be easy if you mention the type of cheese and amount in grams or spoon as we live in area where we don’t have mother dairy.
Hina Gujral says
You can use any processed cheese. 1/4 Cup grated cheese is sufficient.
