Ingredients
Minced chicken (chicken kheema) -1/2 kg
Onions-2 (big) (chopped finely)
Green chillies -2 (chopped finely) (you could add more if you like it spicy)
Ginger – 1” (chopped finely)
Curry leaves- 10 to 12 (chopped finely)
Coriander leaves – a handful (chopped finely)

Breadcrumbs- 1 ½ cups
Potatoes- 2 (medium size)(boiled and mashed)
Turmeric powder- a pinch
Red chilli powder- ½ tsp
Salt – to taste
Fennel seeds powder- 1 tbsp
Garam masala powder – 1 tsp
Directions
Cook the minced chicken with salt,turmeric powder and red chilli powder. Do not add any water as the chicken kheema would release a lot of water by itself. Let the water dry up completely.
Take a pan add 1 tbsp of oil. Add the chopped onions, green chillies, curry leaves and coriander leaves. Add the fennel seeds powder and garam masala powder. Saute for 20 seconds and mix with the cooked kheema. Run the mixture in the mixer for half a minute so that your cutlet does not crumble while frying. Add the potatoes and mix well.
Make balls of the desired size. Flatten it to the desired shape. Dip in the egg and then roll over breadcrumbs. Similarly make the remaining cutlets. The given quantity would make 17-20 cutlets.
Deep fry till golden brown.

Snigdha It is really yummy and as I make it very often can definitely vouch for it. I get minced chicken easily so it is simple and fast. The snap I agree is a little grainy will change it the next time I make it.

The picture is slightly grainy but I bet it is a delicious snack. Reading through the recipe itself was a mouth-watering experience :) I find it really difficult to find minced chicken and I guess mincing them at home is kind of messy/difficult. Minced turkey and lamb are easy to find and hope they would make good substitutes.
