Preparation

Step 1

In a food processor, pulse together the “bread coating” ingredients to a thin crumbly powder and keep aside in a medium bowl.

Step 2

Now, place all the mentioned ingredients under chicken mince and powdered spices and pulse to form a thick minced paste.
Scoop the chicken mince paste into a medium bowl.

Step 3

Take a small palm size amount of this paste and form into desired shape (round/oval/rectangle/any) and coat them with cornflour on both sides.
Follow the step till all the cutlets are made.

Step 4

In a small bowl take eggs+1tbsp water and whisk for 1min.

Step 5

Now take each chicken cutlet and dip it evenly coating both sides.

Step 6

Place the egg coated cutlet into the bread mixture. Evenly coat on both sides and pat with hands to form a thick even cutlet.
Follow steps 7 till all cutlets are coated with bread.

Step 7

Now heat a large nonstick pan on high for 2min and pour 1tbsp oil.
Place about 4-5 uncooked chicken cutlet and shallow fry on both sides till they are evenly brown and the chicken is cooked (Takes about 5-6 min for each batch of 4-5 cutlets to cook on medium heat)

Step 8

Serve Hot with a dollop of sour cream or butter.

If time permits, refrigerate these uncooked cutlet for couple of mins, so that the coating sets.
