Ingredients
For the Meatballs
- 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) chicken mince
- 1 large egg
- 3 teaspoons garlic powder
- 3 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons coriander powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 3 small green chilies finely chopped
- 30 grams (1 ounces) grated cheese about 4 tablespoons
- 20 grams (0.7 ounces) finely chopped coriander leaves about 4 tablespoons
- 1 tablespoon fresh cream
- 1 ½ teaspoons of salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon ground white pepper
For Frying
- Oil for shallow frying
Dipping Sauce
- Your favorite bottled sweet chilli sauce
Instructions
- Place all the meatball ingredients into a large bowl and mix well. A stand mixer with the paddle beater can also be used to mix everything together.
- Before shaping into meatballs, taste and check the seasoning. To do this, fry about ½ teaspoon of the meat mixture, when it has cooked, taste for salt and adjust if necessary. You may need to repeat this several times.
- Divide into 60 even sized pieces, using wet hands shape into round balls.
- Place about 1 cup of oil (or just enough oil for shallow frying) into a medium size frying pan. Heat the oil and fry the meatballs in batches until golden and cooked through. Don’t over crowd the pan and adjust the heat to avoid burning. Turn the meatballs frequently as they cook.
- Remove the meatballs as they are cooked, and drain on kitchen paper.
- Serve hot on a platter with sweet chilli sauce.
