Water to dilute
(Make a thin batter with besan & water,it must be lighter than the pakora batter)
Bread crumbs as needed
Method
Dip these shaped cutlets into the besan liquid,remove & roll it out evenly with the bread crumbs.
Arrange them on a plate,I repeated this process twice for my cutlets to be extra crunchy(You can omit the 2nd time process,its optional).
Keep it in fridge for sometime before frying.
Heat oil in a pan & in medium low flame deep fry these cutlets till crisp & light brown colour on all sides.
Place it on a kitchen paper to remove excess oil if any.
Before serving sprinkle Chaat masala on top & serve them hot with any dip you like.
