Ingredients

Switch to Cup Measures
  • 1 kilogram chicken (minced)
  • 1 egg (can be left out, bind better with though)
  • 2 slices bread (preferably whole grain)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh root ginger (minced or grated)
  • 2 cloves garlic (crushed)
  • 1 bunch fresh coriander
  • salt (to taste)
  • pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon mustard (mild, or small chopped red chilli)
  • 63 ml milk

Method

  1. I do all this in my blender. For a rougher consistency, or for those not in a hurry like I always am!, chop and mix by hand.
  2. Put roughly torn bread and enough milk to just cover in blender, soak for 1-2 minutes and then blend.
  3. Add egg, ginger, garlic, salt, pepper, mustard or chilli and blend again. When you have a nice mush, add the chicken mince and coriander, and blend just enough so mixture is well combined.
  4. Roll into small balls and fry - I do this in my non stick pan but you could do in a small amount of oil. This quantity makes about 30 balls. Serve with tsatsiki and/or sweet chilli sauce.
