Spicy Chicken Patties

I tried this one in January, I have written down next to it "very good"

• 1 1/4 lbs boneless chicken breasts, skinned
• 4 green onions, finely chopped
• 3 tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
• 1 piece fresh gingerroot, grated
• 1 garlic clove, crushed
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• Salt and red (cayenne) pepper to taste
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 1/2 cups fresh bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil

Rinse chicken breasts, pat dry with paper towels. Finely mince chicken and put into a large bowl with onions, tomatoes, cilantro, gingerroot, garlic, cumin, Garam Masala, salt, cayenne, egg and half of the bread crumbs. Mix thoroughly, then divide into 18 pieces and form into patties. Roll patties in remaining bread crumbs, coat completely.

Heat oil in large skillet. Fry patties in two to three batches 10 to 12 minutes, until crisp and golden brown and no longer pink in center. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot, garnished with tomato wedges and green onion brushes (that part is optional, all garnishes are optional)

Serves 6

I served this on mushroom and rice patties.
