CHICKEN MEAT BALLS - Indian Style

Here’s a tasty and easy Chicken Meatballs Recipe (Indian-style, but I can also give you continental/Italian version if you’d like):





🌿 Ingredients

For Meatballs:

  • Chicken mince – 500 g

  • Onion – 1 small (finely chopped)

  • Green chillies – 2 (finely chopped, optional)

  • Ginger-garlic paste – 1 tsp

  • Coriander leaves – 2 tbsp (chopped)

  • Bread crumbs – ½ cup

  • Egg – 1 (for binding)

  • Garam masala – ½ tsp

  • Pepper powder – ½ tsp

  • Salt – as needed

For Frying:

  • Oil – for shallow/deep frying


🥣 Preparation

  1. Mix meatball mixture:

    • In a bowl, add minced chicken, onion, green chillies, ginger-garlic paste, coriander leaves, bread crumbs, egg, and spices.

    • Mix well till combined. (If mixture is too loose, add more bread crumbs.)

  2. Shape meatballs:

    • Grease palms and roll into small round balls.

  3. Cook:

    • Heat oil in a pan.

    • Shallow fry or deep fry the meatballs till golden brown and cooked inside (8–10 minutes).

  4. Serve:

    • Drain on paper towels.

    • Serve hot with green chutney / ketchup / as a side dish with rice or chapati.


🍲 Variations

  • Gravy version: After frying, simmer meatballs in onion–tomato masala curry or coconut milk–based curry.

  • Continental style: Skip garam masala, add oregano, parsley, and parmesan, then cook in tomato sauce (like spaghetti meatballs).
