  5. How do I achieve the perfect crispy texture for my vegetable cutlets?

    To achieve the perfect crispy texture for your vegetable cutlets, ensure that the oil is hot enough before frying. You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of the mixture into it; if it sizzles immediately, the oil is ready.
