Mix all the chopped ingredients (chicken fillet, onions, dill) in a deep plate, add kefir (mayonnaise), stir, then add 3 tablespoons of starch.

Mix everything well and leave for 20 minutes so that the starch swells and removes excess liquid. You should get a fairly thick “minced meat”; if it’s a bit runny, add more starch.

There is no need to sculpt such cutlets; place them by the tablespoon on a frying pan heated and greased with vegetable oil and fry on both sides. I fry over low heat so that everything is steamed and not overly fried. When frying chopped chicken cutlets, do not cover the frying pan with a lid, otherwise the cutlets will fall apart into chopped cubes.
