Ingredients:
2
Eggs1 cup
Whole Milk2 tsps
Paprika2 tsps
Ground Coriander1 tsp
Ground Cumin1 tbsp
Butter1 small
Onion (minced about 1/3 cup)2 cups
Chicken2 tbsps
Mango Chutney (sweet)1 tsp
Soy SauceDirections:
1
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F
2
For the steaks: Process the pretzels in a food processor until fine
3
Grab 3 shallow bowls
4
In one, whisk together the eggs and milk
5
In another, mix together the flour, salt, pepper, dried fenugreek leaves, paprika, ground coriander, and ground cumin
6
Pour the pretzel crumbs into the last bowl
7
Save 2 tablespoons of the flavored flour for the gravy
8
Make yourself an assembly line: dip 1 steak on both sides in the flavored flour, making sure it's well coated, but dust off the excess
9
Then dip it quickly in the egg and lift, allowing the excess to drain back into the bowl
10
Finally, dunk both sides in the pretzel crumbs
11
Repeat with remaining steaks
12
Place the coated steaks on a sheet tray fitted with a cooling rack and let the steaks rest for 15 minutes to let the coating adhere to the meat
13
For the gravy: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat and add the onions and a pinch salt
14
Sweat until the onions are translucent and softened
15
Add the reserved 2 tablespoons of flavored flour and cook a few minutes until the flour no longer smells raw
16
Add the stock, mango chutney, and soy sauce
17
Stir, so that no lumps form, and bring to a boil
18
Cook until the sauce thickens to a gravy consistency, 5 to 10 minutes
19
Taste and re-season, if necessary
20
In a large cast iron skillet, add enough oil to come up the sides by 1-inch
21
Heat it over medium heat until shimmering; you'll know the oil is hot enough when a pinch of flour sizzles upon contact with the oil
22
Line a sheet tray with paper towels and place a cooling rack on top
23
Gently lay the steaks into the oil; you may have to do this in batches
24
Cook each side until golden, about 3 minutes
25
When both sides are cooked, lay the steaks on the paper towel-lined sheet tray and pop into the oven to keep warm while you do the next batch
26
Serve the steaks with gravy spooned over the top
