Kerala Chicken Cutlet- Chicken Potato Patties




Chicken Cutlet

Are you looking for a delicious snack/ appetizer. Imagine a spicy chicken cutlet with piping hot tea-can you ever say no to this yummy tea time snack? Cutlet is one of my favorite snacks. It has an inducing smell and an absolute comfort food. It is often found in restaurants, local tea stalls, and canteens. Delicious cutlets can be made, with meat, fish, or vegetables. It is a party favorite and is served, as an appetizer or finger food. The breaded meat patties are deep-fried and are crunchy on the outside and with a soft filling. Eggs and bread crumbs help to attain the light crispy texture and allow it to hold its shape while frying. Use a combination of regular and panko bread crumbs for a light and crispy coating.

They are the best comfort food and easy to make. It will be ready in under 30 minutes. It is a great time-saver, and the best part is that you can make the patties and store them in the freezer( without frying) for more than two weeks. The flavor of freshly ground pepper, coriander leaves, and a bit tangy from lemon juice is something I love in these Kerala style cutlets. This recipe will make around twelve cutlets. Serve this with ketchup and onion salad and enjoy with a cup of tea. Go ahead then and give it a try. I am sure you'll love them too!


Kerala Chicken Cutlet- Chicken Potato Patties

Ingredients
Chicken 3/4 lb
Potato large-1
Onion- 1 medium
Ginger Garlic paste- 1 1/2 tsp
Turmeric powder- 1/2 tsp
Pepper powder- 1 tsp
Chilly powder- 1/3 tsp
Garam masala- 3/4 tsp
Chopped Coriander leaves- a little
Lemon juice- 1/2 lemon
salt to taste

Bread Crumbs- 1 cup
Eggs - 2
Oil for frying


Cook chicken along with salt, turmeric powder, and half of the pepper powder. Once cool either shred or mince the chicken in a food processor.

Boil potato and mash it.

Heat oil in a pan and saute onions till golden brown. Add ginger-garlic paste and fry for a few seconds or till the raw flavor disappears. Next add garam masala, pepper powder, chilly powder, minced meat, and boiled potatoes, coriander leaves, and lemon juice. Saute this in low flames till it becomes a uniform mixture. Allow this to cool down completely.

Beat egg whites in a bowl. Spread bread crumbs on a plate and keep aside. 

Take the chicken potato mixture and make small balls, and using your palm flatten into patties. Dip in egg whites and then roll on bread crumbs. It is best to let the breaded patties chill in the refrigerator for half an hour. Heat oil in a pan on medium heat. Gently slide 3- 4 cutlets at a time and shallow fry till both sides are evenly brown. Fry in batches. Serve with tomato ketchup. It tastes best when it is warm, but leftover can be refrigerated. They will taste just delicious a freshly made when you reheat them in an oven or on a frying pan.

 

Freezing the Cutlets

You can make this ahead of time, and it freezes well and is a great time saver. Make patties and dip a well-beaten egg, and coat with bread crumbs. Line them on a baking sheet and freeze them. Once it is frozen, transfer it into freezer-safe zip lock bags, and you always have cutlets handy and ready to deep fry. When it is time to fry, allow it to defrost for half an hour and then fry.

 
Try this..
Hope you will all enjoy..

Uzhunnu Vada/Urad Dal Vada

Uzhunnu Vada/Urad Dal Vada Uzhunnu vada or medu vada is a very common snack in south India and is a perfect accompaniment with a cup of hot piping tea.I like it as a snack but again cannot resist when it is served with idli,sambar and chutney as breakfast. One might wonder where does all the aroma come from? The  plain deep fried lentils is by itself flavorful because I make them often for  vada curry. But in uzhunnu vada the addition of pearl onions,ginger and curry leaves imparts a wonderful aroma that is irresistible.This is something I really missed when I came here to the US until I started making my home made version. Try this you will surely love it. Ingredients Urad Dal/Black lentil skinless- 1 cup Rice flour- 2 tsp Pearl Onions- 4-5 Ginger finely chopped- 1 inch thick Curry leaves finely chopped- 1 spring Green chilly  finely chopped- 3 Whole black pepper- 5-6 salt to taste Oil- 2 cup to fry Wash and soak urad dal and rice for about 4-5 hours. Drain

Kerala Beef Vindaloo- Anglo-Indian Recipe

Kerala Beef Vindaloo Vindaloo is often synonymous with fiery, bold, pungent curries. It is one Indian curry that needs no introduction. It is lip-smacking delicious, tenderly cooked meat in a spicy gravy. It is almost pickle like with flavor of vinegar and ground mustard. But again, the perfect vindaloo curry strikes the right balance with chilies, aromatic spices, and vinegar- a perfect balance of acidity, spicy heat, and flavor of earthy spices. Authentic Goan Vindaloo is made with pork, but you can also use beef or mutton. Vindaloo may sound complicated, but it is an easy recipe. You can make a restaurant-style curry right in your kitchen. Today I am sharing two ways to cook this recipe. The  traditional slow-cooked stove top recipe  and  an Instant pot recipe . Recently I have been making this curry in Instant pot and it comes out perfect each time. Beef Vindaloo is a quintessential dish for Christmas feasts in Kerala. It is popular among Christians and the Anglo-I
