Such cutlets will never be dry: how to cook them deliciously besides frying

If you simply fry cutlets in a pan, they can turn out quite dry. Therefore, it will be much better if you cook them in gravy. You can then pour the prepared sauce over mashed potatoes or any other side dish.

The idea of cooking cutlets with gravy was published on the Instagram page of food blogger Polina with the nickname polli cooking. Any minced meat will do.
