Ingredients:
• For the Cutlet Mixture:
• 250 grams chicken breast, cooked and shredded
• 2 medium sweet potatoes, boiled and mashed
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2-3 green chilies, finely chopped
• 1 tsp ginger-garlic paste
• 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
• 1 tsp red chili powder
• 1 tsp garam masala
• 1 tsp cumin powder
• 1 tsp coriander powder
• 2 tbsp fresh coriander leaves, chopped
• Salt to taste
• 1 tbsp oil
• For Coating:
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 eggs, beaten
• Oil for shallow frying
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Chicken Mixture:
• Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a pan over medium heat.
• Add finely chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
• Add the ginger-garlic paste and sauté until the raw smell disappears.
• Add finely chopped green chilies, turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, and garam masala. Mix well and cook for 1-2 minutes.
• Add the shredded chicken and mix well with the spices.
• Cook for 3-4 minutes, ensuring the chicken is well-coated with the spices. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
2. Combine with Sweet Potatoes:
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes with the spiced chicken mixture.
• Add salt to taste and chopped fresh coriander leaves. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
3. Shape the Cutlets:
• Take a small portion of the mixture and shape it into a patty or croquette. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
4. Coating the Cutlets:
• Dip each patty into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is well-coated.
• Roll the egg-coated patty in breadcrumbs until evenly coated.
• Repeat with all the patties.
5. Shallow Frying:
• Heat oil in a pan over medium heat for shallow frying.
• Carefully place the coated patties in the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy on both sides. This should take about 3-4 minutes per side.
• Remove the cutlets from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
6. Serve:
• Serve the chicken cutlets hot with ketchup, mint chutney, or any dipping sauce of your choice.
