Russian Chicken Cutlet Recipe
Ingredients: (All below ingredients except spring onion greens can be boiled together along with chicken for better flavor)
- 500 grams boneless chicken (boiled and shredded)
- 1/2 cup finely chopped carrots
- 1/2 cup finely chopped french beans
- 2 – 3 finely chopped green chillies (optional)
- 1/2 cup finely chopped greens of spring onion
Ingredients for white sauce
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp maida/all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp black pepper powder
- 1 tsp red chilli flakes
- Salt per taste
Ingredients for coating
- 2 beaten eggs with a pinch of salt
- Maida slurry (this is optional if one does not wish to use eggs mix 2 tbsp maida with half cup of water)
- Vermicelli
Oil for deep frying
Method
- Boil water in a deep pan and boil the chicken. When chicken is half done, add all the veggies and boil for another five minutes. Once done keep it aside.
- Separate the chicken pieces from the veggies and shred the chicken. Do not throw the broth, you may want to use it for another recipe or in the same recipe for the white sauce.
- For white sauce, add butter to a pan and once it melts add maida and stir well till butter is incorporated in maida.
- Now reduce the flame and slowly add milk in batches and keep stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
- Once all the milk is added allow it to boil for ten minutes and then add all the seasonings. Stir continuously.
- Keep stirring till the sauce thickens and leaves the sides. This process should take around ten minutes on a medium flame.
- Once done, keep the sauce aside and allow it to cool completely. Once it is cooled, you will see it become more thicker almost like a slimy dough. So this is how we need it.
- Now add the chicken mix and spring onion greens to the sauce and and mix everything together till its combined well. Remember to be gentle as you do not want your chicken to mash completely. Check for salt per your taste.
- Once your mix is ready, shape these cutlets into desired shape.
- Now, dip the cutlets in beaten eggs and coat with vermicelli. Similarly prepare all and refrigerate for half hour before frying.
- Heat oil to deep fry.
- Fry the cutlets on a medium flame till golden brown. Fry in batches and do not over crowd your pan.
- Delicious Chicken Russian Cutlet are ready to serve with ketchup, chutney or any dip of your choice.
Please Note:
- I normally add small chunks of chicken pieces while combining the mixture.
- If you are storing the cutlets, you need not thaw them before frying.
