Steps
Take a mixing bowl, add minced chicken, finely chopped onion, ginger, garlic, green chilies, coriander leaves, salt, sugar, black pepper, red chili powder and melted butter. Mix well. Cover the bowl and keep it aside for one hour.
Beat an egg with some salt and pepper. Keep aside.
Then take some portion (bigger than a lemon) from chicken mixture. First make it as a patty, then flatten the patty and give it thin cutlet shape.
First sprinkle little breadcrumbs over the cutlets, pat well.
Then dip each cutlet into the beaten egg and then lightly coat again with breadcrumbs.
Deep fry the cutlet one by one into hot oil until both the sides are golden brown.
Take them out from oil.
For the cover, in another bowl crack open 1/2 eggs, add salt, pepper and cornflour. Mix well and make a runny batter.
The oil should be very hot.
Take some batter with your fingers and spread it over the oil as fast as you can.
Repeat the process for 7-8 times to make one cover.
Then dip one cutlet into the egg batter and place it at the edge of the cover.
Carefully wrap the cutlet with egg cover by folding it. Please check the video for detailed process.
Remove it from hot oil and place it on a tissue paper to drain excess oil. Serve hot with some ketchup, kasundi and salad.
