Minced chicken masala


This is a very easy preparation . It is a good dish to keep ready incase you are expecting any guests. It can be served with chappathy or rice as the main course . It can be also converted easily to a filling for puffs or mixed with boiled potatoes for cutlets which makes two good evening tea snacks. So its a very flexible dish for any item any time of the day. Here I have prepared it in my own style as I wanted to make a chicken puffs for weekend tea snack. I just prepared the filling the previous day and would just stuff and bake it when we are ready to have it the next day. It is fully cooked chicken and with no coconut added, so it would remain in fridge for a couple of days.

Serves 4

INGREDIENTS:
  • Chicken pieces- 20 bite sized pieces (I used boneless chicken thighs)
  • 2 medium onions- sliced thin and long

  • Red chilly powder- 2 tablespoons
  • Coriander powder- 2 tablespoons

Step 1: Marinate the chicken pieces with all masala powders for 30 minutes. Boil it till is is well cooked.

Step 3: Heat oil, add cumin seeds. Add sliced onions and saute till it turns transparent. add ginger garlic paste and saute till it is done. Add the chopped tomatoes and saute till it is done.

Step 4: Add little of the stock water to it and cook well.
