Cheese Rava Cutlet Recipe

Some Indian food recipes, like the cheese and cutlet are truly a match made in heaven. Cheese Rava Cutlet is one such delicious fantasy come true. These cutlets have a mouth melting texture with the creaminess of the cheese. How have I made it more delicious? By pan frying the cutlets. Pan Frying gives a nice crisp and golden exterior to the rava cutlets, making them even more delectable. 

How did these Cheese Rava Cutlets happen? All thanks to Mother Dairy. We are doing two Insta Cooking Classes with them on Instagram. Cheese Rava Cutlet is the first recipe on the #InstaCookingClass with Mother Dairy. I am so excited about this association. Why? Because Mother Dairy Cheese is one of my favorite from the past few years. It has the perfect soft texture and the right amount of saltiness. At times I like to enjoy it on its own. Simply cubed, seasoned with pepper and I am all sorted for the quick evening snack with various Indian food recipes. 

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 – 40 minutes. If you are in a hurry keep the baking tray lined with semolina mixture in the fridge 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. And I almost forgot to tell you that these rava cutlets can be done crisp in an air-fryer or in the oven. So now you have three alternatives – pan fry, air-fry, and bake, to make tasty and crunchy cheese rava cutlet at home in no time.
