Method

Fritters Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cooked rice, and 1 cup of Tikka Masala sauce. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Batter

    In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, cumin powder, and coriander powder. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add it to the flour mixture. Mix until a smooth batter forms.

  3. 3

    Form the Fritters

    Add the chicken and rice mixture to the batter and mix until combined. If the mixture is too wet, add a little more flour until it holds together. Shape the mixture into small fritters, about the size of a golf ball.

  4. 4

    Coat with Breadcrumbs

    Roll each fritter in breadcrumbs until they are fully coated.

Cooking the Fritters

  1. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a large frying pan, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

  2. 6

    Fry the Fritters

    Carefully add the fritters to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

  3. 7

    Drain and Cool

    Once cooked, remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve with Sauce

    Serve the fritters hot with the remaining Tikka Masala sauce on the side for dipping.
