Tender lentils slow-simmered with warming turmeric, finished with a sizzling tarka of golden ghee, roasted cumin, and fresh coriander.
Soften the onion in a tablespoon of the oil; add the ginger-garlic paste and garam masala.
Stir in the chicken mince and salt; cook until dry, bind with the mashed potato, and cool.
Flatten spoonfuls of the mixture into round cutlets.
Dip each cutlet in beaten egg and coat with bread crumbs.
Shallow-fry in the remaining hot oil until deep golden on both sides.
Serve hot tucked into buttered pav with sliced onion and ketchup.
