Mint & Coriander Chicken Patties


Grilled minced chicken style patties marinated in yogurt, spices, onions and herbs.

                          Ingredients                                 

750gms chicken mince
1 ½ tsp salt
1tsp ground coriander
1tsp ground cumin
1tsp chilli powder
1tsp turmeric powder
½ tsp ground black pepper
1tbsp fresh garlic crushed
1tbsp fresh ginger crushed
1tbsp fresh chillies chopped (optional)
2tbsp natural plain yogurt
10-12 fresh mint leaves
2 tbsp fresh coriander chopped
1 medium onion finely chopped
SERVES 4

Preparation

In a blender add the yogurt, fresh mint & coriander, salt, ground black pepper, rest of the spices, crushed garlic, ginger and fresh chillies. Blend well to form a thick paste.

Place the chicken mince in a mixing bowl, add the paste, finely chopped onions and mix in thoroughly.

Divide the mixture into small equal- size round balls. Using a little water on the palm of your hands pat down the balls into round patties. This will help to smooth them off. Leave to one side.

Place the patties on a lightly oiled covered baking tray, under a 200°C degree pre-heated grill for around 30-40 minutes, turning once. Allow them to brown slightly before removing.

Serve Hot!

Enjoy!
