1 tbsp	Ginger Garlic Paste
2 tbsp	Chili powder
1/2 tsp	Turmeric powder
1 tsp	Garam masala powder
1/2 tsp	pepper powder
	salt to taste
2	boiled potatoes
handful	Coriander leaves
2	Eggs (season with salt and pepper)
1 cup	bread crumbs (I have used Italian bread crumbs)
4 Tbsp	Oil for shallow frying

Cooking Method

Step 1) Clean the boneless chicken pieces and blot it well with a paper towel to remove excess moisture from the chicken .Chicken should be dry for this recipe.Mince the chicken in a blender and keep it aside.


Step 2) To make chicken Cutlet heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan and add the finely chopped onions and some salt.Once the onions are golden add the masalas Ginger Garlic Paste , Chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala powder and mix it once


Step 3) Add the minced Chicken Pieces add some salt and pepper, and mix it well with the Onion masala mixture and cook it for few minutes until the chicken is fully cooked.The mixture should be dry

Step 4) Once the chicken is well done turn of the heat and allow the mixture to cool .Then transfer the cooked chicken into a mixing jar and add 2 boiled potatoes (mash the potatoes well) and also add a handful of coriander leaves and combine everything together.you should be able to hold shape when rolled into balls
Step 5) Roll a small portion of the mixture into medium sized ball and flatten it between the palms to give it shape. similarly do it for the rest.It makes around 15 patties from 500 g chicken.


Step 6) Now to coat the cutlets break 2 eggs add some salt and pepper to season and beat it well.
We also need some bread crumbs.I have used Italian Bread crumbs (plain bread crumbs will also taste good) Now everything is set.Dip the cutlets in beaten eggs and then roll it into breadcrumbs make sure that all the sides are nicely coated.Then tap it to remove any excess crumbs or this extra crumbs spoils the oil

Step 7) Now the final step is to fry the cutlets. To shallow fry heat 4 tbsp of oil(you can also deep fry ) , place the chicken cutlets and fry until golden brown. Oil should be in medium heat while frying.If the temperature of the oil is too hot then the outer surface will become dark soon and the cutlets wont taste very good and at the same time if the oil is at low temperature then the cutlets will soak more oil and it wont be crispy.
The cutlets are nice and brown on one side ,now flip it to the other side and again fry until golden brown.Now the cutlets are crispy on the both sides, carefully remove from the oil and place it on a wire rack


Step 8) To keep the cutlets crispy 
Place the cutlets on a wire rack . If you place it on paper towel to remove excess oil then the steam will be trapped under the food and the cutlets will turn soggy, so to keep the cutlets crisper place it on a cooling rack so that air can circulate underneath and the food will stay crispy for a long time.
