Ingredients
  

  • 2.5 cups cooked chicken minced
  • 1/4 cup cilantro leaves chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp Red Chili Powder
  • 1/4 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp garam masala
  • 1/2 cup red onion minced
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 inch ginger
  • 4 tbsps rice flour more if necessary
  • oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Heat up a pan with oil halfway up the pan.
  • Into a bowl, add the minced chicken, grate the one garlic clove, grate the 1 inch piece of ginger root. Add the red onion, spices, cilantro leaves. Mix this well. Now add the rice flour. First add 3 tablespoons. Mix this well. Now add just enough water so the chicken mixture holds together, a few tablespoons at a time. Make small balls and set aside.
  • When the oil is hot, put the balls in. Turn over and fry until a deep golden brown on both sides. Drain them and put them on a paper towel lined plate.
  • These are best eaten right away. They are just one or two bites. I serve different sauces with these chicken balls. Ketchup, mint chutney and a hot sauce.
  • Makes 30 small balls. Serves 6 to 8 people as an appetizer.
