🥄 Ingredients (3–4 servings)
For the fritters:
- 500g chicken breast (finely chopped or minced)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (adds moisture + protein)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup oat flour (or blended oats)
- 2 tbsp cornstarch (for crispiness)
- 2–3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 small onion (finely chopped)
- 1–2 green chilies (optional, for heat)
- 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika or chili powder
- 1/2 tsp turmeric (optional)
- 1 tsp cumin powder
- Fresh coriander (chopped)
For coating (optional but recommended):
- 1/2 cup crushed cornflakes or panko breadcrumbs
For cooking:
- 1–2 tbsp oil (shallow fry or air-fry)
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prep the mixture
- In a bowl, combine chicken, Greek yogurt, egg, oat flour, cornstarch, and all spices.
- Mix well until it forms a thick batter-like mixture.
2. Shape fritters
- Scoop small portions and shape into patties or rough fritters.
- Lightly coat with crushed cornflakes or breadcrumbs for extra crunch.
3. Cook
Option A – Pan-fry (crispy & quick):
- Heat a non-stick pan with a little oil.
- Cook fritters on medium heat for 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
Option B – Air fryer (healthier):
- Preheat to 180°C.
- Spray fritters lightly with oil.
- Air fry for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway.
Option C – Bake:
- Bake at 200°C for 20–25 minutes, flipping once.
💪 Nutrition (approx per serving)
- Protein: ~28–35g
- Lower carbs than traditional fritters
- Much less oil if air-fried or baked
🔥 Tips for Best Texture
- Don’t overprocess chicken—small chunks give better texture
- Cornstarch + yogurt = juicy inside, crispy outside
- Let mixture rest 10 minutes before cooking (helps binding)
- Cook on medium heat to avoid burning outside before inside cooks
