We often “Raid” the fridge at our local Polish Deli. They generally have a wide selection of cured and smoked Pork Sausages. Don't worry about not being able to read Polish, they are pretty self explanatory.
As we’re on the Indian theme at the moment….
Ingredients:-
2 Chicken Breasts, cubed
1 Onion, diced
2 Cloves of Garlic, minced to a paste
a Thumb of Ginger, grated to a paste
½ Tsp of Chilli Powder
½ Tsp of Garam Masala
¼ Tsp of Turmeric
8 Curry Leaves
6 Tbsp of Gram Flour
3 Tbsp of Rice Flour
2 Tbsp of Water
1 Egg White
Salt to taste
Method:-
(1) Add the Gram Flour, Rice Flour, Salt, Chilli Powder and Garam Masala to a bowl and mix well.
(2) Add the Garlic, Ginger and Curry Leaves.
(3) Add the Chicken and Egg White.
(4) Add enough Water the make a really stiff patter.
(5) Fry in batches at 160c until the batter is a light brown colour.
(6) Drain over kitchen paper and serve in a boat made from a lettuce leaf. (Very 1970’s, but still looks good!)
If you fry these in batches at about 160c it prevents the Egg in the batter burning and you end up with a light brown batter and succulent Chicken. Just make sure the Chicken is cooked through. We use a kitchen probe, but cutting one of the larger ones in half and checking that there is no pink in the middle will work. If you are using a probe you’re looking for 75c.
