Persian Chicken Cutlets
Delicious and easy Persian chicken cutlets, also known as Kotlet-e Morgh, are made with ground chicken, mashed potatoes, and aromatic spices. These flavorful patties are pan-fried to a golden crisp and are perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a delightful appetizer. They are often enjoyed in sandwiches or as a side dish.
🧂 Ingredienser
- 500 g Ground chicken(Ensure it's not too lean for better flavor and texture.)
- 300 g Potatoes(About 2 medium-sized potatoes.)
- 1 medium Onion(Finely grated or minced.)
- 1 large Egg(Acts as a binder.)
- 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric powder(For color and flavor.)
- 1 teaspoon Salt(Or to taste.)
- 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper(Or to taste.)
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour(Optional, for a slightly firmer mixture.)
- for frying Vegetable oil(Enough to generously coat the bottom of the pan.)
- approx. 1 cup Breadcrumbs(For coating. Panko breadcrumbs can provide extra crispiness.)
👨🍳 Fremgangsmåte
- 1
Prepare the potatoes: Peel the potatoes and cut them into quarters. Place them in a pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain the potatoes thoroughly and mash them until smooth. Let them cool slightly.
⏱️ 20 minutes - 2
Grate the onion: While the potatoes are cooking, finely grate the onion using a box grater or mince it very finely. Squeeze out any excess liquid from the grated onion to prevent the mixture from becoming too wet.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 3
Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, mashed potatoes, grated onion, egg, turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper. If using, add the all-purpose flour. Mix everything together thoroughly with your hands until well incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, which can make the kotlets tough.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 4
Shape the kotlets: Lightly wet your hands to prevent sticking. Take a portion of the mixture (about 1/4 cup) and shape it into oval patties, about 1/2 inch thick. You should get about 12-15 kotlets.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 5
Coat the kotlets: Spread the breadcrumbs on a plate or shallow dish. Gently press each shaped kotlet into the breadcrumbs, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Shake off any excess.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 6
Pan-fry the kotlets: Heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil is ready when a breadcrumb sizzles immediately upon contact. Carefully place the breaded kotlets in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan (fry in batches if necessary). Cook for 4-6 minutes per side, until deeply golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 74°C (165°F).
⏱️ 15-20 minutes - 7
Drain and serve: Remove the cooked kotlets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve hot.
