Chicken Cutlets

3/4 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs (excess fat trimmed)

3 green chillies (seranno or jalepenos)
3-4 pods garlic
1 red onion, peeled and cut into 4 pieces
2 teaspoons cumin-coriander powder

Method of Preparation
1. Place the chicken, ginger, chillies, garlic, onion, cumin-coriander into the bowl of a large food processor and process for 5 minutes, until the mixture in a ground coarse puree. The mixture I made retained some texture but was still fine enough to qualify as ground.
2. Remove the mixture into a mixing bowl and chop the cilantro and mix in.
3. Beat the egg and mix into the chicken. Shape into oval cutlets.
4. Cover lightly with breadcrumbs and place in the freezer for 20 minutes.
5. Heat the oil in a skillet and fry the cutlets till golden brown on one side (takes about 5-6 minutes) and turn and cook till browned.
6. Drain and serve.
