Chilly chicken an amalgamation of India and China........as everybody knows its an Indo-Chinese dish. The flavor, and a punch of heat with the diced capsicum and onion everybody loves it.

CHICK CHICK CHICKEN CUTLETS

Image
Sometimes, I get totally bored by eating chicken thighs, breasts and fillets...... So I tried something ingenious with chicken, I got chicken mince instead of the pieces. Threw some ingredients to it and that tasted like chicken heaven. I had these cutlets with bun, like an Indian burger. Everybody in my house loves it, we have this normally on Sunday mornings.............as its a lethargic rest day for us, so the dish should be heavy and comforting as well. My mother guided me during this experiment, otherwise, I would have made a blunder...!! Because of the supervision, this dish came out perfectly........... with no cutlets left in the plate. Here's the recipe- MIXTURE- half kg chicken minced one onion green chilly 2 chopped coriander a handful chopped finely salt red chilly powder turmeric eggs 2 gram flour(if the mixture doesn't hold in) oil PROCEDURE- heat some oil in a big flat pan mix all the ingredients as mentioned above and make small pat...

My mother always keeps the batter ready in the fridge for me, as I am quite fussy..!(maybe that's why I am getting fat XD..) Jokes apart, I let the batter stay in the fridge for 4-5 days for fermentation till it gets a hint of sourness to it, I kn...
