Dry roast the oats to get rid off its raw smell.

Usually we use bread crumbs for coating the shaped cutlets, but here we can use the ground oats to coat the outside of the shaped cutlet.

Curd gives a tinge of sour taste to the cutlet. Do not add too much.

Cook the tikka in low flame, flipping the tikka in regular intervals and making sure they cook evenly on both the sides without getting burnt.
