Instructions
-
Prepare the Chicken: Start by washing the chicken breasts thoroughly under running water to remove any impurities. Once cleaned, chop the chicken into small, bite-sized pieces.
-
-
Cook the Chicken: In a small pan, add the chopped chicken along with a pinch of salt. Pour in 2 to 3 tablespoons of water and cook the chicken over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the chicken turns white and is fully cooked. Turn off the flame once done. Drain any excess water from the chicken.
-
Mash the Chicken: Allow the chicken to cool slightly before mashing it. Use your hands to gently mash the cooked chicken pieces. This will help break them down into smaller bits, making it easier to mix them with the other ingredients.
-
Prepare the Fritter Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed chicken, flour, and the beaten egg. Stir the mixture using a spatula to combine everything evenly. Add the butter, milk, red chili powder, black pepper powder, and salt to the mixture. Continue mixing until a smooth batter forms. If the batter seems too thick, you can add a bit of water (1/2 cup) to achieve the right consistency.
-
Heat the Oil: While preparing the batter, heat sunflower oil in a kadai or deep frying pan over medium-high heat. To test if the oil is hot enough, drop a small ball of the batter into the oil. If it rises steadily, the oil is ready for frying.
-
Fry the Fritters: Take small portions of the batter (about 1 tablespoon each) and gently drop them into the hot oil. Be sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the fritters in medium heat, turning them occasionally, until they become golden brown and crispy on all sides. This should take about 3 to 4 minutes per batch.
-
Drain and Serve: Once the fritters are golden and crispy, remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Serve these delicious Chicken Corn Fritters hot, paired with Dhaniya Pudina Chutney for a refreshing dip. Enjoy them with a cup of Masala Tea for the perfect snack or appetizer.
