    • Chicken Cutlet

    by Maria on October 6, 2006

    Chicken Cutlet

    Chicken cutlet is a very easy to make dish. One advantage of this is you can prepare the keema (cutlets before frying) & store it in your freezer for 1 month. It comes to your rescue when you have a surprise guest for lunch or dinner. It can be also served as an evening snack.

    1. Boneless chicken – 1/2 kg
    2. Onion – 1 big
      Chopped ginger – 1 tablespoon
      Chopped green chilli – 2-3
    3. Potato – 1 boiled & mashed
    4. Pepper powder – 1 teaspoon
      Garam Masala – 1 teaspoon
    5. Bread crumbs – 1 cup
      Egg white -1-2
    6. Curry leaves
      Salt
    7. Oil – for frying

    Cook & mince the chicken. Saute onion till it becomes soft.Add chopped ginger, green chillies and curry leaves.Add minced chicken. Mix well. Add salt, pepper powder & garam masala. Stir for 5 minutes & remove from gas.Allow the mixyure to cool. Once it is cooled add mash potatoes & mix well.Make small balls with the mixyure & roll into desired shapes. Beat the egg white. Dip each cutlet in egg white & roll with bread crumbs. Deep fry in oil. Serve hot with tomato sauce.

      Hi Kat

      Thanks for visiting my blog. There might be two reasons for the cutlet to break.

      1. You should fry it on high flame otherwise the cutlet will break.
      2. Also you mentioned that chicken was not combining, the reason could be less amount of potato. btw did you dip the rolled cutlets in egg white before frying.

      Hope it works out this time with these tips. Please try it and let me know.

      hi maria I recently went to my sister’s home and she made chicken cutlets and it was sooo yummy she only added chicken,onion and pepper to the mixture no potato was added.

      • http://www.mariasmenu.com Maria

        HI Jiji,

        I’m not very sure how the cutlet was rolled into shape without using potato. Was she using bread or any other starch to bind it together?

        Cheers

      Hi Maria,
      Want to know what is cook and mince the chicken. Do you first boil the chicken and then mince it.

      • http://mariasmenu.com Maria Jose

        Hi Vanessa,

        I first boil the chicken with salt & pepper till it is cooked completely. Then once it is cooled I mince it in food processor. You can also use mixie to do the mincing.

        Cheers

      hi
      i tried this recipe n it came out nice.. its is simple n easy for a beginner like me..
      but i faced one problem while frying the cutlets.. after frying the first batch the bred crumbs would settle down in the oil and will turn black…i had to remove those burnt bred crumbs after frying each batch..
      is there any way to avoid this??

      • http://mariasmenu.com Maria Jose

        Hi Sasha,

        Great to know that the cutlets came out well for you.

        For the above problem you mentioned, you can try this. After rolling the cutlets in bread crumbs, just shake to get rid of the excess bread crumbs. I think its the excess breadcrumbs that gets settled in oil. Also once the cutlets are rolled in bread crumbs, try keeping it in the fridge for 10 mins or so, just to tighten it. Hope this helps…

        Thanks for trying the recipe :)

        Cheers

    • Megha Jor

      Dear Maria
      I am a newbee in cooking still I tried the receipe.:). It tastes ok. But I feel the chicken was not cooked enough.Can you explain to me how loong do I need to keep the chicken(half kg) for boiling with pepper and salt?

      • http://mariasmenu.com Maria Jose

        Hi Megha,

        Thanks for trying the recipe. After around 10-15 mins of cooking, take a small piece of chicken & try slicing it. If it slices smoothly, then the chicken is done.

        Cheers
