Chicken Croquettes Recipe

I made this couple of days before on a cold rainy rainy day..I also made some hot and sour chicken soup for dinner. Can you imagine how comforting it was. I had a steaming hot bowlful of this soup and lots of croquettes. My sisters loved it too. This is perfect for parties or any get togethers, Because it it so easy to make and a little portion yields lots of this tiny morsels. Believe it or not I got around 40 mini bites of this.

About this Recipe

I added some Indian touch to the traditional chicken croquettes with some ginger and garlic paste and green chillies. You could add any herbs or spice powders as you wish. My favourite will be oregano or rosemary. The cool thing about this dish is you could make a ton of this until breadcrumbs coating and freeze the whole lot in freezer containers..So you can make it whenever you want. Isn’t that cool. So I hope you love it and off you go to the step by step recipe with pictures.

Heat butter in a kadai and add in onions, chilli, cilantro and ginger garlic paste.
Now add in flour and fry for few minutes..Pour in milk slowly while mixing so that no lumps are formed.
Season with salt and mix well. Add in chicken pieces and mix well.
Cook this until the mixture comes together.
Tip this to a bowl and set it in fridge..Let it chill for 30 mins.
Now take small portions out this and shape into oval shape or your favourite shape.

Continue doing this till the entire batter gets over.
Now fry the croquettes in oil till golden on both sides.

Can we substitute flour with rava/sooji in this recipe?

Reply
Aarthi

at

Shilpa I think you can substitute flour with rawa, but you dont need to dip that in egg or breadcrumbs after that...Make croquettes and roll it in rawa( make sure it is fine rawa or use powdered rawa) and then fry it in oil..

I have not tried this,but hope it works..Tell me how it came..

Hi Aarthi,

All your recipes are awesome especially the way you take pains to give your viewers step by step pictorial guidance. Keep up the good work.

I tried this recipe and it came out very well. But there is a sweet taste to these croquettes, is there anything we can do to make it more spicy. I added pepper to it but the sweet taste still remains the same.

Hi Aarthi, I tried chicken croquettes today as per your recipe. I just added chilli powder and pepper powder in addition cos I wanted it a lil spicy. This recipe is healthy cos it comes out really crispy without deep frying and by just tawa frying. It came very well and my family loved it a lot 🙂 Thanks to you.
