Mutton Cutlet is a crispy and savory snack that is a staple of Parsi and Bengali 'Cabin' culture. This recipe features cooked minced lamb mixed with mashed potatoes, herbs, and spices, then shaped into heart-shaped or round patties and crumb-fried. The combination of the spicy meat interior and the crunchy breaded shell offers a deeply satisfying textural contrast. Its taste is savory, mildly spicy, and profoundly comforting, making it a favorite for evening tea or appetizers. This dish is a versatile icon of fusion snack culture. Best served hot with a tangy mustard dip or spicy ketchup.

Tips & Secrets
- Boiling the keema until completely dry is the secret to a professional-grade firm cutlet that doesn't fall apart.
- Using Panko breadcrumbs provides a much lighter and superior professional crunch than regular crumbs.
- Chilling the shaped cutlets for 20 minutes before frying helps the breading adhere better to the patty.
- Adding a tiny pinch of amchur (dried mango powder) provides a necessary tang that brightens the meat flavor.
