Thanks to the egg component, the dish really does not fall apart during frying.

What to add to minced meat so that the cutlets don't fall apart

The specialist recommends using semolina.

Thanks to this ingredient, the cutlet base will acquire the desired consistency.

The cutlets turn out very juicy, since semolina, which absorbs liquids well, preserves the meat juice in the dish.

For every 200 grams of minced meat, one tablespoon of semolina is enough.

Also, don't forget to add onions.
