vermicelli cutlet recipe | potato semiya cutlet | aloo vermicelli cutlet with detailed photo and video recipe. a unique and crunchy cutlet recipe made with vermicelli noodles coating and boiled potatoes stuffing. it is also referred to as birds nest snack, due to the crunchy and spiky texture. it is an ideal attractive party starter snack which is not only appreciated by kids but all age groups people.
as i was explaining earlier, there are myriad ways you can coat a deep-fried snack recipe. my personal favourite is breadcrumbs or semolina as it is easy to coat and fail-proof. particularly the panko breadcrumbs are best and can even hold a melting ice cream while deep frying. therefore, breadcrumbs are my go-to coat for almost every snack. however, you may get monotonous with the same texture and look, and hence i try other options to have a different crunchiness to my snack. one of the recent addition to it is the vermicelli or semiya coating. it may not provide the same level of coating, but scores hundred out hundred with its look and crispiness. the noodles when deep-fried turns crispy and gives an extra crunchiness while consuming it.
furthermore, i would like to add some more tips, suggestions and variations to vermicelli cutlet recipe. firstly, you can experiment with the types of vegetables you add to this snack. as matter of fact, you may use peas, carrots and beans on the top potato to make mixed vegetables semiya cutlet. secondly, i have prepared cornflour and plain flour-based white slurry before applying the vermicelli coating. you may use the egg white for the same purpose and it is more effective than the corn flour-based slurry. lastly, i have specifically not used roasted vermicelli in this recipe for coating, as you are already deep frying it with the cutlet. however, you may get the store-bought fried semiya and use it for this recipe.
