recipe_by_reshma

40 pcs | Serves 7 people| Ready in 45 minutes 

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 5 ounce grated paneer
  • 5 ounce grated cheese
  • 5 cloves of finely chopped garlic
  • ½ inch piece of finely chopped ginger
  • 4 finely chopped green chilies
  • 1 large finely chopped onion
  • 5 chopped stalks of fresh coriander
  • Salt to taste
  • 40 pieces Parchment paper cut to 5X6 inches

Directions

Combine all the ingredients together and make oval shaped large pellets. Wrap the pellets in parchment paper and twist the two ends tightly (like toffee) so while frying oil does not seep into the paper. Deep fry the chicken until it turns golden brown or for about 8 minutes. Then place the paper chicken on a paper towel and lightly dab the remaining oil off of the pieces of paper.

Best way to eat them is to unwind each piece just before eating to keep them warm and fresh. This dish is best served with green chutney or schezwan sauce.
