Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless chicken breasts
- 1 medium Onion
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece Ginger
- 2 tablespoons Curry powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro
- 4 ounces, cut into 1/2-inch cubes Cheddar cheese
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 cups, for frying Vegetable oil
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into small chunks and place them in a food processor. Process until finely minced.
In a large bowl, combine the minced chicken, finely diced onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, curry powder, garam masala, ground cumin, ground turmeric, salt, black pepper, and yogurt. Mix well until fully incorporated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the mixture marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
Once marinated, take a heaping tablespoon of the chicken mixture and flatten it slightly in your hand. Place a cube of cheddar cheese in the center and carefully mold the chicken mixture around it, fully encasing the cheese. Repeat with the remaining chicken mixture and cheese cubes.
Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
Dip each chicken bite into the flour, then the egg, and finally coat it in breadcrumbs. Set aside on a plate.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Carefully fry the chicken bites in small batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate.
Garnish the bites with chopped cilantro and serve hot with a side of yogurt dipping sauce or chutney for extra flavor.
