Step 1
Chop coriander leaves, green chilies, and onions in a food processor until finely minced.

Grease your hands with a little oil, then take a small portion of the mixture and shape it into a patty. Press a small piece of mozzarella cheese in the center and seal it well with the chicken mixture.
Step 4
Heat about a tablespoon of oil in a grill pan over medium heat.
Step 5
Cook the patties on each side until they’re nicely browned and cooked through.
Step 6
Once done, turn off the heat and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
