Chicken cutlet

Chicken is our staple weekend menu.  I made plain semi-dry chicken masala (as mentioned under stuffing ingredients) on sunday but suddenly we planned to have our lunch outside.  Finally, we had the chicken masala with rotis for dinner.  And with the leftover I made this delicious chicken cutlet & enjoyed our tea time little spicy and yummy :)

Ingredients :

For stuffing :

1. Boneless chicken - 500 gms
2. Onion - 1 no
3. Cinnamon stick - 1 no
4. Cloves - 2 nos
5. Elachi - 1 no
6. Ginger garlic paste - 1 tsp
7. Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
8. Chilly powder - 1 tsp
9. Corriander powder - 1 tsp
10. Garam masala - 1/2 tsp
11. Oil - 1 tsp
12. Salt to taste
13. Corriander leaves for garnishing

For covering :

1. Boiled potatoes - 4 nos
2. Salt to taste
3. Egg White
4. Bread crumps - 1 cup
5. Oil for shallow frying

Directions to cook :

#   Heat oil in the pan, add all the spices & onion.  Saute till golden brown in color.

#   Add ginger garlic paste, chilly powder, turmeric powder, corriander powder & cleaned chicken pieces.  Cover and cook till tender.

#   Finally add garam masala & corriander leaves.  Keep aside.

#   Mash the boiled potatoes with salt.  Keep aside.

#   Beat the egg with a pinch of salt.  Keep aside.

#   Make a small ball from the mashed potatoes and stuff a spoon of chicken masala.  Seal the edges & make a flat disc shape patties.

Enjoy :)
