Today, we will prepare a very tasty, crispy, and delicious recipe for Chicken Croquette Rolls. These rolls are perfect for evening snacks, parties, or during Festivals. They are easy to make, and you can store them in the deep freezer for 1 to 1.5 months. These croquette rolls are flavorful, spicy, and incredibly crispy—perfect for any occasion!
Step 1: Preparing the Chicken and Vegetable Mixture
Start by adding **2 teaspoons of butter** in a pan. You can substitute the butter with oil if you prefer. Melt the butter and then add **2 medium-sized onions**, finely chopped. Sauté the onions on medium flame until they turn pink and soft (avoid browning them).
Once the onions are softened, add **1 teaspoon of ginger-garlic paste** and cook it for **1-2 minutes** while stirring continuously. Now, add **3 finely chopped green chilies** and mix well.
Next, add **1 large carrot** (cut into small pieces) and **1 large capsicum** (also cut into small pieces). Stir the vegetables on medium flame for **2 minutes**, making sure they don’t get too soft.Add **400 grams of boiled and shredded chicken** to the pan.
Make sure the chicken is well shredded. Add **1/2 teaspoon of ginger-garlic paste** to the chicken and mix everything together. Cook the mixture for another **2-3 minutes** to heat the chicken properly and combine all the ingredients.
Step 2: Adding Spices and Seasoning
Add **1 teaspoon of salt** (adjust to your taste) and **1 teaspoon of chaat masala**. Keep in mind that chaat masala has salt, so adjust accordingly.
Now, add **1 teaspoon of roasted cumin powder**, **1/2 teaspoon of crushed black pepper**, and **2 teaspoons of chili flakes** to make it spicy.
For extra flavor, add **1 tablespoon of oregano** or **mixed herb seasoning** (optional), along with **1 tablespoon of white vinegar** and **1 tablespoon of dark soy sauce**.
Cook everything on low flame for another **2-3 minutes** to allow the spices to blend well with the chicken and vegetables.
Step 3: Cooling the Stuffing
Once the stuffing is cooked, turn off the heat and set it aside to cool down. Check the seasoning at this point and add more salt or chili if needed.
Step 4: Preparing the Dough for Croquettes
After the stuffing has cooled, transfer it to a mixing bowl. Add **4 medium-sized boiled potatoes**, grated or mashed, making sure there are no large pieces.
Next, add **4 slices of white bread**, crumbled in a mixer. If you have store-bought breadcrumbs, you can use those instead.
Add **1 cup of mozzarella cheese** (optional). If you prefer, you can skip the cheese or substitute it with another ingredient of your choice.
Finally, add **a handful of finely chopped fresh coriander** to the mixture. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly to form a dough-like consistency.
This mixture should hold together well without being too sticky.
Step 5: Shaping the Croquette Rolls
Grease your hands with a little oil and take a small portion of the mixture.
Roll it into a round shape, then elongate it to form a roll.Make sure the rolls are not too thick because they will be coated and will become even thicker. Shape the rolls to your desired size (small, medium, or large).
Once the rolls are shaped, set them aside on a plate. You should have **32-35 rolls** from this mixture.
Step 6: Coating the Croquette Rolls
To coat the rolls, take **2 eggs**, add **1/4 cup of milk**, and a pinch of salt. Beat the eggs and add **1/2 teaspoon of chili flakes** for extra spice.
Now, prepare some breadcrumbs (you can use store-bought or make your own by grinding bread in a mixer).First, dip each croquette roll in the egg mixture, then coat it with breadcrumbs.
Press the breadcrumbs lightly to ensure the coating sticks well.For extra crispiness, dip the coated roll back into the egg mixture and then into the breadcrumbs again. This will give you a double coating that ensures extra crunchiness.
Step 7: Storing the Croquettes
If you’re not frying them immediately, you can store the coated rolls in a ziplock bag or an airtight container and keep them in the freezer for 1 to 1.5 months.
Step 8: Frying the Chicken Croquette Rolls
Heat oil in a pan on medium-high flame. Once the oil is hot, reduce the flame to medium and carefully add the croquette rolls one by one.
Fry the rolls on medium flame for about **7-8 minutes** or until they become golden brown and crispy. Don’t fry them on low flame, as this may cause them to absorb more oil.Keep turning the rolls occasionally to ensure they fry evenly on all sides.
Step 9: Draining Excess Oil
Once fried, remove the rolls from the oil and place them on absorbent paper or tissue paper to drain any excess oil. This ensures they remain crispy and not greasy.
Step 10: Serving the Chicken Croquette Rolls
Serve these crispy, crunchy chicken croquette rolls with **green chutney** or **tomato ketchup**. They make an excellent snack for **party’s during festivals**, a party snack, or even a lunchbox treat for kids.
