Chicken Kheema Baked Cutlets

by 3 Comments

chickencutlets-3Soft, 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.

Total time: 
Serves: 20
 
Ingredients
  • • Minced chicken – 400 gm
  • • Crushed Cumin seeds – 1 tsp
  • • Red Onions – 1, medium, finely chopped
  • • Ginger garlic paste – 1 tbsp
  • • Green chillies – 3, finely chopped
  • • Coriander leaves – ¾ cup, finely chopped
  • • Mint leaves – ½ cup, finely chopped
  • • Kashmiri chilli powder – 1 tsp
  • • Crushed fennel seeds powder – ½ tsp
  • • Black pepper powder – ½ tsp
  • • Lime juice – 1 tsp
  • • Garam Masala – 1 tsp
  • • Rice flour/breadcrumbs – 2 tbsp
  • • Salt - 1- 2 tbsp
  • • Oil – 1 tbsp

    To garnish:
  • • Red onions – sliced
  • • Lime – cubes
Instructions
  1. • Take a bowl, add all the ingredients and mix well. Place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes – 4 hours.

  2. • Preheat the oven to 400F
  3. • Take the mixed chicken mixture and make it to flat round shaped small balls (patties). Place in your hands; now press it gently to flatten it to round thick cutlets. You can make it to any shape you fancy.

  4. • Take a baking pan, wrap with aluminium foil, grease it with some oil and place the flat small balls.
  5. • Keep it on the oven for 15 minutes. Then take it out, turn and keep it in the oven again for 15 minutes. Cook until golden brown on both sides.
  6. (or)
  7. 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.
  8. • Serve hot with tomato ketchup or yogurt mint dip and thinly sliced onion rings and lemon slices.
Notes
1. If you think you cannot hold them together, just add 1-2 tbsp of rice flour to the mixture.

Madras chicken curry in 30 minutes

by 55 Comments

madras_chickencurry-3South Indian style chicken curry recipe packed full of spices and flavor.

Madras is a city in Tamilnadu (state), India. Madras is  now renamed to Chennai. 😀 Ofcourse I can say this is Madras chicken curry because I am from the same city and I totally love my city.  I make different styles of chicken each time; I usually tend not to make the same recipe again and again. There are so many recipes to try, why to waste on that.  We have thousands of recipes to try in every cuisine.   Few comfort foods are the ones I try always. But these days, I am trying to even change that.   It is a famous south Indian recipe. I made this long back that and drafted this recipe. So thought it is one of the easiest recipes and I should post. It is one of the finest spicy recipes. If you are making it for the first time, try to taste as you make to adjust to your spice level. This recipe was spicy, tasty and flavorful.

This is the most indulgent, easy and delicious way of preparing chicken in Indian style. The ingredient is very simple and pretty straight-forward. This is such an easy dish, yet so delicious and flavorful.

Insanely Delicious Lamb & Chicken Recipes

by 3 Comments

 Lamb&chicken

For my lamb & chicken recipe lovers 🙂 here is the collection!  I would say normally Mutton and lamb recipes are a treat to any Non Vegetarian food lover.


Lamb/ Mutton Recipes:  People tend to cook more chicken or beef as few people tend to get intimidated by it and think it involves a lot of hard work to cook lamb. It is really easy and quick to make lamb. For Indian recipes, you can pressure cook it for 4-5 whistles before adding them to the gravy. And if you are baking it, seal it and roast it in pan and bake according to the way you want the lamb to be cooked. For every 500g of meat, a rough guide to cook your lamb in oven is about 40 minutes for well done, Medium is about 30 minutes, Medium rare is about 25 minutes and rare is about 20 minutes. Everyone has his or her own preference of cooking the lamb. I always feel lamb recipes are easy to make and taste great. You have to be careful with the oil you use as lamb itself oozes out oil from its fat.
