Ingredients:

For the chicken mix:

2 medium potatoes, cubed

1/4 kg mince cooked with salt and pepper

½ medium red onion, chopped finely

2 – 3 green chilies, chopped finely, deseeded

4 - 5 curry leaves, shredded

½ tsp black pepper, freshly ground

 1 tsp or more chili powder

½ tsp coriander powder

½ tsp cumin powder

½ tsp Lime juice to taste

1 tsp Dijon mustard

Salt

For Frying

4 tbsp plain bread crumbs for coating

2 medium egg whites beaten

Oil for deep frying

Directions:

1. Boil the potatoes until soft. When they’re done, drain the potatoes and leave to cool in the sieve.

2. In the meanwhile, except for the salt and lime juice, mix all the remaining ingredients in a bowl. When the potatoes have cooled down, mash them and add to the mixture in the bowl. Add the lime juice and salt accoding to taste (as the mince as salt).

3. Sprinkle a little oil in a pan and sauté the mixer for 10 mins and let it cool.

4. Take about a golf-ball sized amount of mixture and roll it into a ball. Next dip the ball into the egg, and then into bread crumbs. Do all the cutlets in this way.

5. Pour oil into a deep pan, or a wok and put on medium high.

6. Fry the cutlets for a few min on each side, until they’re heated through and the coating is cooked.
