Minced Chicken Cutlets aka Chicken Patties

Having traveled a lot all over the world, the one thing I realize is that we often have the same food types, just done differently. Consequently, the basic ingredients of these chicken cutlets will remain the same. While a few additional local ingredients will make it unique to a specific country.

For example, in Russia, they add milk-soaked bread and cheese to the mince cutlets. While, in Thailand, they add some soya sauce, fish sauce, galangal etc. And In India, they add a whole lot of Indian spices such as garam masala etc. Each and every version incredibly tasty.

This is my version of these delicious mince chicken cutlets. The best part about these cutlets is that they can be put together in an instant. I find myself making them when I’m pressed for time. And kids love them too.

Let’s talk ingredients and substitutes 

• Chicken – Usually I prefer chicken thighs. And yet, chicken breast also does a good job in these patties. You can use either. Just note that chicken thighs will take a minute or more to cook.
• Cilantro – This is my go-to herb at home. We love it very much. But parsley works just as well.
• Bread soaked in milk – If you prefer not to use bread or milk, you can also use semolina. Just soak some semolina in water or milk. And it works great.
• Breadcrumbs – They add a tender crust on the outside. You can use semolina, but the crust is more crispy not as tender as breadcrumbs.
