What Makes This Recipe So Good
This dish combines juicy chicken with the comforting flavors of spaghetti and marinara sauce. It’s a fun twist that’s both satisfying and easy to eat, perfect for family dinners or casual gatherings. The skewers add a playful touch that everyone will enjoy.
Step 1
Make the white sauce: heat some oil in a pan, add chopped garlic, and cook for about a minute. Stir in the all-purpose flour and cook it for another 1-2 minutes. Slowly add the milk while stirring, then cook for 2-3 minutes until it thickens. Season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes, give it a good mix, and set it aside.
Step 2
In another pan, heat a little oil and add ginger garlic paste. Cook for a minute, then add the chicken pieces. Cook for 3-4 minutes, seasoning with salt, chili powder, cumin seeds, and chili flakes. Add a splash of water, cover, and let it cook for another 3-4 minutes until the chicken is done. Shred the chicken and set it aside.
Step 3
In a bowl, combine the white sauce, grated carrots, boiled spaghetti, shredded chicken, salt, pepper, mozzarella cheese, and chopped coriander. Mix everything well.
Step 4
Grease your hands and shape the mixture into long sticks. Beat two eggs in a bowl. Dip each stick into the eggs, then coat them thoroughly with breadcrumbs.
Step 5
Heat oil for frying, then fry the sticks until they’re golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels if needed, and enjoy!
