Soft, spicy, flavorful baked little treats for appetizers packed full of goodness! Perfect protein snack! I am sure this is one of the finger foods that are finger licking good.
How to Store: You can very well stored these cutlets in the freezer and enjoy it later. You can freeze the chicken mixture before making as a patty or freeze the patty in ziplock bag. You can thaw the patty or chicken mixtures when needed and bake/shallow fry them. Try not refreezing after thawing. If you think you have a big batch stored, try to store them in small batches.
I am cooking a chicken dish after a long time and this time I made this specially for my office. Made a big batch and took it to work. It was a super hit! Yay!. I wanted to prepare something nice to work but wasn’t sure what to take. Initially planned for some curries and bread. Then one of my besties said ☺ chicken kebabs or cutlets. I was like..Thatsit ☺ I made this to bring to work. I have made mushroom cutlets and lamb shami kebabs before but this is the first time to make chicken kheema cutlets.
I personally feel this is a perfect snack to munch for protein intake. It is quick to make and provide perfect balance of every taste.

- Pan fry: Heat a large non-stick frying pan on medium high with some olive oil. Or you can use non-stick griller for this recipe. Once the oil is hot, scoop two tablespoons of batter and drop it into the pan, then flatten it with a spatula or spoon. Don’t leave it thick; the inside will then remain uncooked. Cook until golden brown on both sides. It took 2-3 minutes for me per side. Remove and drain on paper towels. Repeat same steps with the additional batter.
- • Serve hot with tomato ketchup or yogurt mint dip and thinly sliced onion rings and lemon slices.
