Why This Meal Is A Winner

Rich and comforting, with tender chicken cooked in a smooth, creamy sauce. It’s perfect for a cozy dinner and feels special without being complicated. The flavors are well-balanced and pleasing to most palates.

Cooking Secrets

- Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for even cooking and tenderness.
- Let the sauce simmer gently to thicken without curdling the cream.
- Season the chicken well before cooking to enhance the overall flavor.

Step 1

Melt some butter in a pan, then add chopped garlic and cook it for about a minute until fragrant. Toss in the chicken and cook for 1-2 minutes. Next, add the carrot, capsicum, and cabbage, and give everything a good stir.

Step 2

Season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes, then mix well. Stir in the mayonnaise, turn off the heat, and let the mixture cool down a bit.

Step 3

Once cooled, transfer the mixture to a bowl. Add boiled potatoes, breadcrumbs, and chopped coriander leaves, then mix everything together until well combined.

Step 4

Take two wooden skewers and shape the mixture into a kulfi-like form around them.

Step 5

Prepare a flour slurry by mixing flour, salt, pepper, chili flakes, and water until smooth. Dip the shaped chicken pieces into the slurry, then coat them generously with breadcrumbs.

Step 6

Heat oil in a pan and fry the coated pieces until they turn golden brown and crispy.

Step 7

Serve hot with your favorite sauce and enjoy!

Best Pairings For This Dish

Serve alongside steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad to add brightness. Creamy mashed potatoes or buttered pasta are great for soaking up the sauce and making the meal more filling.

Storing This Dish

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave to prevent the sauce from separating. If the sauce thickens too much, add a splash of milk or cream when reheating.
