Chicken Croquettes

Ingredients:

Chicken: 200 gms
Chicken stock: 1/2 cup
Ginger garlic paste : 1 tsp
Onion: 1 medium sized chopped
Plain Flour: 4 tbsp.
Black pepper: 1 tsp
Butter: 1 tsp
Mixed dry herb
Oil for deep frying
Bread crumbs required for coating : about 1 cup
Egg: 1
Salt to taste

Method:

Clean and wash the chicken. Pressure cook with half cup of water and bit of salt and 1/2 tsp pepper powder. 2-3 whistles would be sufficient  enough.

Once the chicken is done and cooled, shred them with the help of a knife , keeping the chicken stock aside.

Heat the pan, add butter. Add garlic ginger paste and fry till translucent and then add the chopped onion and fry them. Add the stock now and mix. Season with salt and remaining 1/2 tsp pepper powder. Slowly add the flour spoon by spoon and stir continuously so that no lumps form. Once the mixture thickens add the chicken and cook for few minutes till you see everything getting bind together. Add the dry mixed herb and mix. Now put the flame off and let it cool.


Once the mixture is completely cooled down, start making balls of equal size and give oblong shape. Apply some oil on palm of your hands to avoid sticking of the mixture on your hands while giving shapes.


In a dish take bread crumbs . Roll the prepared croquettes over it and keep it in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.

Break the egg in a bowl and mix with a fork. Now dip the croquettes one by one and again roll over the bread crumbs and arrange on a dish.

Heat enough oil in a heavy bottomed pan. Deep fry all the croquettes, 3-4 at a time till they are golden brown in colour from all sides. Transfer to a tissue paper.

Serve hot with your favourite dip .
