Notes
Tips:
1) First of all, make sure the ridge gourd does not have water content before mixing. Squeeze out all the water completely otherwise cutlets may not come in shape and the mix becomes mushy.
2) In case if you get mushy mix don't panic. Just add extra rice flour or extra mash potato and mix again until the dough become stiff.
3) Further, the addition of masala is purely our choice.
4) Finally, to get extra crispy cutlets, you can dip it in the flour mix and rub with bread crumbs and deep fry them.
