Some ingredients, like the cheese and cutlet, are truly a match made in heaven. You need basic ingredients like fine quality semolina (rava), milk, spices, and cheese to make these cutlets from scratch at home.

My Tried & True Tips

Allow cheese to melt in the milk before adding the semolina (rava).

Never ever add salt while boiling the milk. The milk might curdle. Also, the cheese has some saltiness, so add the salt accordingly.

Add the semolina in small batches to nicely mix the batter. Continuously stir the milk while adding the semolina. This trick helps in avoiding any lumps in the mixture.

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 with cutlet mixture in the freezer for a quick turnaround result.

If you have a jar of good quality bread crumbs, coat the cutlets with them and pan fry them. I am sure you will love these cutlets even more.
