Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 300 grams poached & shredded boneless chicken
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon jeera
  • 20 curry leaves (finely chopped)
  • 1 cup finely chopped onions
  • 3 green chillies (crushed)
  • 1 ½ inch ginger (crushed)
  • 25-30 garlic cloves (crushed)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons red chilli powder
  • ½ teaspoon pepper powder

Method
 

  1. Heat oil in a pan, add jeera & saute for a few seconds, then add curry leaves & onions & saute for 2-3 minutes till they turn light brown.
  2. Add crushed green chillies, ginger, garlic and saute for a minute or 2 on low heat.
  3. Add spice powders, salt and saute for a minute.
  4. Add shredded chicken, coriander leaves and lemon juice & saute for 2 minutes till everything combines well.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and set aside to cool completely.
  6. Once cooled, shape the mixture into cutlets and air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.

Notes

- For the crispiest cutlets, ensure they are not overcrowded in the air fryer. Cook in batches if necessary to allow proper air circulation.
- If using fresh chicken, ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before shredding and mixing.
- Store leftover cutlets in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes for best results.
