Why This Recipe Is A Must Try
These croquettes are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The combination of tender chicken and creamy potatoes makes them comforting and satisfying. They are perfect for a snack or a light meal.
Step 1
In a bowl, combine the chicken with yogurt, pepper, turmeric, salt, chili flakes, Kashmiri chili powder, red chili powder, and ginger-garlic paste. Mix everything well and let it marinate for about 30 minutes.
Step 2
Heat some oil in a pan, then add the marinated chicken. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is tender. Once it’s cooked through, use a fork or spatula to shred the chicken into small pieces.
Step 3
Toss in the chopped carrots and capsicum, stir everything together, and cook for another minute. Then turn off the heat and let the mixture cool down a bit.
Step 4
Transfer the chicken and veggies to a bowl, add the boiled potatoes and chopped coriander, and mix everything well. Shape the mixture into cutlets of your preferred size.
Step 5
Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and chili flakes in a bowl. Dip each cutlet into the egg mixture, then fry them in hot oil until they’re crispy and golden brown on both sides.
Step 6
Serve the croquettes warm with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use chicken breast or thighs for this recipe?
Yes, both chicken breast and thighs work well. Thighs are juicier, while breast meat is leaner.
How do I make sure the croquettes hold together while frying?

Can I bake the croquettes instead of frying?
Yes, you can bake them at 200°C (400°F) for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway for even crispiness.
What can I use instead of eggs for dipping?
You can use a mixture of yogurt or milk with a little flour to help the coating stick if you want an egg-free option.
How spicy are these croquettes?
They have a moderate spice level due to chili powders and flakes, but you can adjust the amount to suit your taste.
Can I prepare the mixture in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the filling a day ahead and refrigerate it. Shape and fry the croquettes just before serving.
What dipping sauces go well with these croquettes?
