Here is how to make Chicken Kaima Pepper Fry Recipe
Take a bowl and add in all the ingredients listed for meatballs / kaima. I use a heavy duty mixie to grind the chicken. Just use the pulse mode to grind the chicken into a mince. Both breasts and thighs work well in this recipe. I have used chicken breasts today. You can also use store-bought chicken mince too. Mix everything well.
Make into small bite-sized balls. Wet your hands while making the balls. If the balls stick to the hands, wash the hands and continue. Wet hands make it easier to make balls. Steam the balls in a steamer for 10 minutes. After steaming, remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Heat oil in a pan and add in the fennel seeds, curry leaves and the dried red chillies. I have deseeded the chillies and chopped them. The flavour of the chillies and the aroma makes this dish a winner. Since we are removing the seeds, the dish wont be spicy. Add in the sliced onions and the garlic. Saute for a few minutes till the onions are soft. Add in the salt along with the onions so the onions will cook fast.
Add in the turmeric powder and sauté for a few seconds.
Add in the steamed kaima / meat ball, cumin powder and the black pepper powder. Saute for a few minutes.
Finally add in the coriander leaves and lime juice. Remove from heat. Do not cook for long after adding the lime juice.
Serve as a side dish for lunch along with rice, pulao etc.. It also goes perfectly well for parties as touching’s / starters 🙂
