- Use an ice cream scoop to scoop out the mixture and form it into patties about ⅓-inch thickness. Coat each cake evenly in the ½ cup plain bread crumbs and set aside.
- Heat 4-6 tablespoons Oil for shallow frying in a pan over medium-high heat and fry the patties in a single layer on each side for 3-4 minutes till golden brown on both sides.
