Start by chopping the onions and chilies in a food processor until finely minced.
Add the chicken, salt, chili flakes, chili powder, cumin, coriander powder, coriander seeds, and ginger-garlic paste to the processor. Blend everything until you get a smooth paste.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl, then stir in the chopped tomatoes, clarified butter, cornflour, chopped coriander leaves, and the egg. Mix everything well.
Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into flat patties.
Heat some oil in a pan over medium heat and fry the patties until they’re golden and crispy on both sides.
Once cooked, remove them from the pan and serve hot.
- Use fresh herbs to enhance the flavor.
- Make sure the oil is hot before frying to get a crispy crust.
- Avoid overmixing the mixture to keep the cakes light and fluffy.
These chicken cakes are packed with flavor and have a wonderful crispy texture on the outside while staying tender inside. They are quick to make and perfect for a satisfying meal any day of the week.
Serve with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. A dollop of tangy yogurt or a spicy dipping sauce pairs wonderfully with the cakes.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or oven to keep them crispy, rather than using a microwave.
