3. Choose from the following to cook the patties, I have used the air frying method
   • Air Fry– Place the patties in the basket of the air fryer and brush them with some oil. Cook on 400 F for 20 mins or until golden and crisp, flip them after 12 mins
   • Pan Fry– Heat some oil in a pan, place the patties and cook until crisp & brown from both sides
   • Deep fry– Take 2 tbsp of corn flour and 4 tbsp of water in a small mixing bowl. Mix and make a nice thin slurry. Dip the patty in the slurry and deep fry until golden brown
   • Bake– Pre-heat the oven to 425 F or 220 F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Place the patties on the baking tray and brush them with some oil. Bake for 20 mins or until golden-brown, flip them after 12 mins
