• However; if you grind the chicken yourself, you can control and fat content to ensure that no fatty skin is added.

• Mini Chicken Muffins: Bake mixture in greased miniature muffin tins for 15 to 18 minutes.
• They're perfect as hors d'oeuvres, or to put in the kids lunch boxes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 190 C (380F). Grease a 12 hole muffin tin with butter and oil.
• Make sure to grease the top of the tin well so any mix won't stick as they rise. Heat oil in a pan and cook the onion rings over a medium heat, stirring often.
• Cook but DON'T brown them, adding a splash of water helps (you want them to stay white looking for effect - so they say), takes 5-10 minutes.
• Put the onions aside. 3/4 will be used for presentation, chop the other 1/4.
• Heat the pan again and add a little bit of oil and the chicken.
• Stir until it begins to turn white and then add the curry paste. Cook slightly, adding a splash of water to speed up the process.
• Cook for a further minute then remove from the heat and stir in the yoghurt. Let it cool slightly.
• Sift flour into a large bowl from a good height to aerate it well.
• Add the chopped onions, lemon juice, eggs, vegetable oil, cooled curried chicken and chopped coriander and mix well.
• Spoon the mixture into the greased muffin tin and push the onion rigs on top by gently pressing in.
• Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until risen and golden.
• Allow to cool completely.
• Good picnic food.
• Enjoy!
