Cutlet is a savory short eat prepared for afternoon tea,
parties and special occasions. There are two types, the normal cutlet & Egg Cutlet. Many local's favorite short eat even mine, so today I turned
cutlets into a cake, which is more healthier and saved that time to do some
other work. I mean cutlets we have to deep fry after making small balls dipped
into beaten eggs, coated with bread crumbs, but boakibaa just put in the oven
and let the oven do the job while I did some other work, and it tasted sooo
yummy yum, my family loved it.
Ingredients
2medium onions (sliced thinly)
1Maldivian chilly (githeyomirus)
Juice of 2 limes
1/2tsp pepper powder
1tsp grated garlic
2cans of tuna in oil
1/2cup bread crumbs (faaroshi kundi)
3eggs (slightly beaten)
450grm potato (boiled and mashed)
1/2tsp ajinomoto
Salt
4tbs vegetable oil
2tbs flour
Method:
Pre heat oven to 180C, generously oil a 9inch tray, sprinkle
the flour into the tray and turn the tray to court inside completely, this
helps prevent the boakibaa sticking to the tray and it will be easy to remove
the boakibaa without breaking it. In a bowl put the onion, chilly, pepper powder, garlic, salt
and lime juice, crush and mix onions using your fingertips to release the
aroma, (while crushing the chilly use a food safe plastic glove because the
chilly may cause serious burning sensation in your hand for couple of hour's
which I am not able to tolerate). Add the bread crumbs, mashed potatoes,
ajinomoto and tuna, mix to combine all ingredients at last add the beaten eggs
and mix. Transfer this mixture to the oiled & floured tray, press to level
using your hand and bake for 45min to 1hour. Different ovens temperature varies
just keep on checking the upper side of the boakibaa will get crispy and dark
in color when baked. Transfer the tray to a wire rack, cool little bit and
remove the boakibaa from the tray. Serve hot with a cup of tea
................enjoy!!
