Chicken & Potato filling

This Chicken & potato filling made of ground chicken can be used in anything. I use this spicy chicken filling for Pies, Blintzes & Buns. You can make these in batches and freeze to be used whenever needed. This saves a lot of time. 

Ingredients

300g minced chicken (or cut into tiny pieces)
1 large potato (cut into tiny pieces)
2 tbsp oil
3 medium sized onions (finely chopped)
1 green chilli (finely chopped)
1 tsp garlic paste
1 small tomato (finely chopped)
Salt to taste
Curry leaves (optional)
Coriander leaves to garnish (optional)

Spices required

1 tbsp chili powder/ paprika powder
1 tsp cumin seeds powder
1 tsp pepper powder
1/4 tsp turmeric powder

Directions

1. Heat oil in a pan over medium to high heat. When it is hot add the cloves and cinnamon along with curry leaves and garlic paste. Saute for 10 seconds. 
2. Then add the chopped onions and green chilies. Saute well until onions get translucent.
3. Mix all the spice powders, salt and chopped tomatoes with the minced/ chopped chicken.
4. Now add the minced meat mixture and chopped potatoes to the the onions. Saute altogether. Cook the chicken & potato with the water it releases, stirring occasionally in medium heat.
