It has been a long time since I made indian style appetizers... after Mexican and Italian why not a quick culinary jump to India? These are curry chicken balls, appetizers always
appreciated by guests around the world...
Ingredients (for a dozen balls):
Preparation: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
You will need:
2 chicken breasts
2 slices of bread (or simply use ready-made breadcrumbs)
Milk
1 teaspoon Madras curry
1 / 2 onion
10 basil leaves
1 egg
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
For the sauce:
4 oz. (100g) cottage cheese,
2 tbsp lemon juice,
1 teaspoon Madras curry powder,
1/2 tablespoon red pepper
Salt and pepper.
Preparation:
For the sauce:
1) Drain the cottage cheese by leaving it in a strainer 15 minutes. Dice the peppers into very small bits, as small as you can.
In a bowl, beat the cheese with the curry, and lemon juice. Add salt and pepper then add the diced peppers. Reserve, refrigerated.
The meatballs:
2) Chop onion and basil. Remove crust from bread, cut into crumbs and soak the bread in a little milk.
3) Skip the white chicken meat grinder.
4) In a bowl, combine all ingredients, seasoning with curry powder, salt and some pepper.
5) Beat the egg and pour into a bowl. Place flour in a second plate and the breadcrumbs in a third.
6) Form into balls about the size of a walnut. The move successively into flour, the egg and breadcrumbs.
In the pan:
7) Heat the olive oil, in a skillet with high walls; over medium heat, brown the meatballs, so they are cooked on all sides.
Finishing Touches:
Serve hot. Each dip the meatballs using wooden skewers in white cheese sauce
