Notes
Drain the soaked poha well so the mixture does not become too wet.
Keep the potato mixture slightly coarse for better texture.
Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. Keep the cutlets in a single layer.
Use air fryer-safe parchment with holes so the hot air can move around the cutlets.
Air fryer timing can vary slightly, so check the cutlets near the end of cooking.
