Chicken Cutlets

Recipe

Chicken Mince/ chicken Keema 1 cup full

Onion chopped 1/2 cup

Green chilies chopped 1

Mint leaves/Pudina or Coriander leaves a handful

Garlic and Ginger paste 1 Tablespoon

Salt 1/2 teaspoon or less

Garam masala * 1 teaspoon

egg 1

Breadcrumbs 1 cup

Oil for frying.

*Garam masala – Grind 1 inch stick of cinnamon, 3 cardamom, and 3 cloves together. The extra amount can be stored very well in a clean dry bottle, and used in many other Indian dishes,

Heat a tablespoon full of oil in a wok and saute the onions till the raw smell goes, do not fry till brown.

Separate the egg yolk and the egg white. Beat the egg white with a little salt. we use only the egg white.

Put the bread crumbs in a shallow dish so that it is easy to coat the patty.

In a big bowl, mix chicken mince, salt, chopped green chilies, mint leaves,. garam masala, garlic and ginger paste. stir well and keep aside for 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes, divide the chicken mixture into 6 equal portions.

Take 1 portion, flatten it on you palm to make a patty, about 1 inch thick.

Now dip the patty in the egg white, then roll it in the breadcrumbs so that it is completely covered with the breadcrumbs.

Next flatten it again by pressing it down between your palms. Keep it on a plate. Do the same for the rest of the chicken mixture.

Once all of the patties are coated they are ready to be fried.

TIP : If you keep the coated patties in the fridge for an hour the coating is better. The cutlets can also be frozen at this stage, but you should use wax paper or parchment paper in between layers to prevent them from sticking to each other. Bring the frozen ones to room temperature before frying.

Heat enough oil in a pan so that the patties can be deep fried. Fry on medium heat till they are golden brown. Remove from the wok and keep on a plate lined with kitchen towel for a couple of minutes before transferring them to a serving dish.

Rita's Recipes

Hello, I’m Rita, the home cook behind Rita’s Recipes — a food blog where I share traditional Bengali and Indian recipes alongside family-favourite breads, cakes, and cookies. I grew up in a Bengali household where cooking was part of everyday life. Many of the dishes I share are authentic home-style recipes — light fish curries, seasonal vegetable dishes, lentils, and classic Indian comfort food that have been passed down through generations. At the same time, baking has always been part of our family table. Here you will also find simple homemade breads, soft cakes, and cookies that are easy to make with everyday ingredients. My goal is to preserve traditional flavours while making recipes clear, practical, and accessible for cooks around the world — whether you are new to Indian cuisine or looking for reliable home-style cooking. Thank you for visiting, and I hope my recipes bring warmth to your kitchen.
