Baked Chicken cutlet

Makes 10

Cutlets have always been my favorite from childhood.Be it vegetables,fish or meat cutlets, their unique taste has always flattered my taste buds I've tasted cutlets everywhere but the first thing that comes to my mind is of the cutlets served in the day trains or chair cars in Tamil Nadu.The wonderful taste of hot cutlets with tomato ketchup and the gentle rocking of the train is a very cherished memory.This is a healthier version,frying it will definitely enhance the taste !
