CHICKEN CUTLETS









With two growing children, the chef in me makes sure that I try new items every week for snacks .
This time, I tried my hand with chicken keema ( minced chicken ). It was very new to me when I tried this recipe.
I was skeptical , would the cutlets break while frying? If this happens, what would I offer to both the hungry children returning home after a good deal of running and playing? 😞
I heated the oil in a pan for deep frying and slowly let a freshly made cutlet and slide into the hot oil .. And a few more. ...I waited for a few seconds to check if the cutlets are intact or fragmented into pieces.,I was lucky; they came out fine 😃😃😃😃
I thanked my stars ,and fried a few more pieces , and then I heard the calling bell .😃
I was all set and served my children with their favorite mayonnaise and mint sauce which I had prepared the previous night .😇
