Ingredients

• 500 g Minced chicken
• 150 g Mozzarella cheese (cut into small cubes)
• 100 g Breadcrumbs
• 50 g All-purpose flour
• 2 pieces Egg
• 1 tbsp Garlic (minced)
• 1 tbsp Ginger (minced)
• 2 pieces Green chilies (finely chopped)
• 2 tbsp Coriander leaves (finely chopped)
• 1 tsp Red chili powder
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper powder
• 1 tsp Salt
• 500 ml Oil (for deep frying)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced chicken, minced garlic, minced ginger, chopped green chilies, coriander leaves, red chili powder, black pepper powder, and salt. Mix well to form a cohesive dough-like consistency.

Step 2

Take a small portion of the chicken mixture (about the size of a golf ball). Flatten it slightly in your palm and place a cube of mozzarella cheese in the center.

Step 3

Carefully wrap the chicken mixture around the cheese, ensuring it is fully enclosed. Roll it into a smooth ball. Repeat this process with the remaining chicken mixture and cheese cubes.

Step 4

Set up a coating station: place the all-purpose flour on one plate, beat the eggs in a shallow bowl, and spread the breadcrumbs on another plate.

Step 5

Roll each chicken ball first in flour, then dip it in the beaten egg, and finally coat it evenly with breadcrumbs. Repeat for all the balls.

Step 6

In a deep frying pan or wok, heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches about 175°C (350°F).

Step 7

Carefully drop a few chicken cheese balls into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Turn occasionally for even cooking.

Step 8

Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried chicken cheese balls and drain them on a paper towel to remove excess oil.

Step 9

Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, mayo garlic sauce, or chili sauce.
