Chicken Dukkah
1 tbsp EACH ground coriander, cumin and paprika   ¼ cup olive oil
1 lb chicken cutlets*   ⅔ cup ground almonds
⅓ cup sesame seeds   2 tsp turmeric
¼ cup milk   ¾ cup flour
½ cup plain yogurt   ⅓ cup sour cream
2 tsp lemon juice   salt and pepper to taste


Mix together ground almonds, sesame seeds, coriander, cumin, paprika and turmeric. Set aside. Mix beaten egg with milk. Coat cutlets with flour, shaking off the excess. Dip in egg mixture then into almond mixture so that both sides are well coated. In a bowl, whisk together yogurt, sour cream, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Cover and refrigerate. Heat oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Add 3-4 cutlets and cook for 3 minutes per side or until the outside is golden brown and the inside shows no pink. Repeat with remaining cutlets, adding more oil if needed. Serve 2 cutlets per person with a portion of the yogurt sauce.

* To make your own cutlets, use 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts with filet removed. Using a sharp knife, slice each chicken breast in two by running the knife blade parallel to the cutting board, from the thick end to the thin end. Put the slices between wax paper and pound until thin.
