Chicken Sticks -Family recipe

Ingredients

1. 4 pieces of Chicken breasts cut in small cubes
2. 350 ml yogurt –plain
3. 2 tbsp garlic paste
4. 2 tbsp ginger paste
5. 2 tbsp cumin
6. Salt & pepper to taste
7. Tooth picks 1 box
8. 1 egg beaten
9. 1 cup bread crumbs
10. Oil for deep fry

Method:
Combine items 1 to 6 from the ingredients and allow this to marinate overnight in a fridge or a minimum of 4 hours.
Skew the marinated chicken cubes on to toothpicks and set aside.( I prefer to skew on only 2 pieces on each toothpick)Make a process line of beaten egg in a bowl and bread crumbs in a plate.
Take one toothpick with the chicken cubes skewed on dip in egg and then coat with breab crumbs.
 Lay these in a tray to dry before frying.
Repeat this process till all the chicken cubed tooth picks are coated with egg then bread crumbs.
Heat oil in a fry pan and fry till golden brown at medium heat.

Tips:
You can even freeze them after the coating is done so that later on you just need to take out enough for one time use.
The oil does get a bit dark on frying  these so you might want to fry them in a small quantity of oil so you don’t waste too much oil.

Notes:
This is a recipe my aunt Mubina shared with me. She had made these for my dawat after my marriage. They tasted so good I had to ask for the recipe and I have made these ever since.
