Marination time: 30 minutes
Servings: 10 strips
Ingredients
  • 2 chicken breast or 3 fish fillets
  • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon red chilly paste or paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper powder
  • 1/2 cup almonds coarsely powdered
  • 1/4 cup sesame seeds
  • 3/4 cup corn flakes coarsely crushed
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tablespoon milk or buttermilk
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
  1. Cut each chicken breast into 5 thin strips. Cut it slant so that the chicken does not become flaky. If using fish, cut that into strips as well.
  2. Add paprika or red chilly paste + salt + pepper to the chicken and keep aside for 30 minutes.
  3. Mix together, almond powder + sesame seeds + cornflakes. In another bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of milk and salt.
  4. Dip the chicken in the egg and then coat it well with nuts, pressing it well so that the coating sticks to the chicken.
  5. Add oil in a pan only enough to cover the outer layer of chicken. Turn the heat to medoim high heat and cook the chicken strips about 3-4 minutes on each side and till the outer layer is golden brown. (You will know the oil is ready when you add few crumbs and it should sizzle). Reduce the heat to medium if the coating tends to darken.
Recipe Notes

If you don't have any one of the coating ingredients, substitute that with the ones you have.
