🍽️ Classic Chicken and Potatoes Dish – A Flavorful Delight! 🥔🍗
Step 1: Sauté the Chicken Like a Pro 🧄
In a hot pan, add 1 tsp of oil and toss in 1 tsp of chopped garlic. Let it cook for about 2–3 minutes, filling your kitchen with irresistible aromas. Now, add 750g of chicken (cut into bite-sized pieces) and cook until it’s beautifully white and tender. Sprinkle in 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, ½ tsp cumin seeds, and ½ tsp chili flakes. Mix it all up, letting the flavors meld. Turn off the heat and set aside to cool. 🔥
Step 2: Mash Those Potatoes to Perfection 🥔
In a large bowl, add your 5–7 boiled potatoes and mash them with a fork or masher until they’re silky smooth and ready for flavor. Smooth, creamy, and absolutely perfect. 💯
Step 3: Mix, Match, and Add Color 🌈
To your mashed potatoes, add the cooked chicken, along with ½ cup finely chopped carrots, ½ cup capsicum, ½ cup cabbage, and 2 tbsp fresh coriander leaves. Get your hands in there (or use a spoon) and mix it all together, creating a beautiful rainbow of flavors and textures. Once it's well-combined, shape the mixture into bite-sized rounds or patties—whatever makes you smile. 😄
Step 4: Get the Crispy Coating Ready 🍳
Whisk together 2 eggs, ¼ tsp salt, ¼ tsp chili flakes, and 1 tbsp cornflour in a bowl until smooth. Dip each patty into the egg mixture, then coat it generously with breadcrumbs—you want them golden and crisp when fried! 🥖
Step 5: Fry ’Em Up to Golden Perfection 🍳
Heat oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Carefully fry the patties for 4–5 minutes per side, until they’re golden brown, crispy, and oh-so-delicious. Once they’re golden, place them on paper towels to soak up any excess oil—crispy, crunchy perfection. ✨
Step 6: Serve & Wow Your Taste Buds 🌟
These crispy chicken and potato bites are ready to be devoured! Serve them hot with your favorite dip—whether it’s creamy mayonnaise, tangy ketchup, or a zesty yogurt dip. Pop one in your mouth, and feel the crispy goodness melt with every bite. Pure bliss. 😋
Pro Tip:
For an extra zing, drizzle lemon juice 🍋 or sprinkle chili powder 🌶️ just before serving. Perfect for that extra pop of flavor!
