FAQS
Can I use regular salt instead of rock salt?

Can I prepare the patties in advance?

What can I use instead of curd in the chutney?
You can use a dairy-free yogurt or skip it entirely for a vegan version of the chutney.
How do I store leftover chutney?
Store the chutney in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Can I fry the patties instead of steaming them?
