Ingredients Serving: 4

300 gms boneless chicken cooked with a pinch of salt
2 boiled eggs (leave out the yolks and cut the whites into very small cubes)
Salt to taste
1 tsp pepper powder (or to taste)
Chopped coriander leaves
Oil for frying
For the white sauce:
1 tbsp Butter
1 tbsp All purpose flour (maida)
1 cup milk
For the coating:
1 cup all purpose flour (Maida)
1 egg
1 cup Bread crumbs

Instructions

Take the boiled chicken in a bowl and shred it into thin strips. (Or you can coarsely grind it in a mixer.)
Add the egg whites to the boiled chicken and keep ready. (We do not need the yolk)
To prepare the white sauce, melt butter in a non stick pan and add a tbsp of maida.
Roast till the raw smell goes.
Now add milk and mix well such that there are no lumps.
Cook till the sauce thickens.
The consistency of the sauce has to be thick as only then it will help in binding the ingredients together.
Immediately add this to the chicken and egg mix and mix well.
Add chopped coriander leaves, salt and pepper to taste and mix well.
Check for taste and add more salt or pepper if needed.
Form 8 oval shaped balls with the mix and keep ready.
Spread maida and bread crumbs in separate plates and beat the egg in a bowl till the white and yolk is well combined.
Take one croquette and coat it well with maida, then dip in the egg mix and finally coat with bread crumbs.
In the same way prepare the remaining 7 croquettes.
When all the 8 croquettes are ready, heat oil in a pan and deep fry till the croquettes turn golden brown in colour.
Serve hot with tomato ketchup.
