Method – How to Make Chicken Parcels

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Stuffing

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, black pepper powder, chili flakes, salt, green chilies, green coriander, and onion. Mix well.
  2. Add the mayonnaise to the mixture and mix thoroughly. Your stuffing is ready.

Step 2: Prepare the Bread Slices

Step 3: Make the Slurry

  1. In a bowl, whisk the curd until smooth and lump-free.
  2. Add the cornflour to the curd and mix well.
  3. Gradually add water to the mixture to make a thick, lump-free batter.
  4. Add a little salt to the batter and mix.

Step 4: Assemble the Parcels

  1. Take one bread slice and spread the chicken stuffing evenly over it.
  2. Place a second bread slice on top of the stuffing and press gently with your hands to ensure they stick together.
  3. Repeat this process to make the remaining parcels.

Step 5: Fry the Parcels

  1. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
  2. Dip each stuffed bread parcel into the slurry, ensuring it is well-coated.
  3. Roll the coated parcel in breadcrumbs.
  4. Carefully place the parcel in the hot oil and fry until golden brown on one side.
  5. Turn the parcel over and fry the other side until golden brown as well. Use a ladle to pour oil over the parcels while frying.
  6. Remove the fried parcels from the oil and drain on a paper towel.

Step 6: Serve
