Chicken Continental Rolls
Ingredients
For the Filling:
Chicken Breast: 500g, finely diced
Potato: 1 large, peeled and cubed
Onion: 1 medium, thinly sliced
Dried Red Chili: 1–2 pieces
Oil: 2–3 tbsp
Ginger-Garlic Paste: 1 tbsp
Ingredients
Spices: Turmeric, Red Chili powder, Garam Masala (or your favorite "continental" spice blend)
Fresh Cilantro: Handful, chopped
For the Wraps & Batter
Eggs: 3–4 large
Black Pepper: Freshly crushed
Salt: To taste
All-Purpose Flour: 1 cup
Baking Powder: 1 tsp
Water: As needed for a smooth batter
Oil: For deep frying
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Filling
Sauté: Heat oil in a pan. Add the dried red chili, sliced onions, and cubed potatoes. Cook until the potatoes are slightly softened and the onions are golden.
Add Chicken: Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and the finely diced chicken.
Season: Add your spices (turmeric, chili powder, and masala). Cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and the mixture is relatively dry.
Finish: Stir in the fresh cilantro. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Mash it together slightly so it holds its shape, then form small log-shaped portions.
2. Create the Egg Wraps
Whisk: In a bowl, whisk the eggs with freshly crushed black pepper and a pinch of salt.
Fry: Heat a lightly oiled non-stick pan. Pour in a small ladle of the egg mixture to create a thin omelet.
Roll: While the egg is still slightly tacky on top, place one "log" of chicken filling on one side. Roll the omelet tightly around the filling. Repeat until all filling is used.
3. Batter and Deep Fry
Make the Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and enough water to create a thick, smooth coating batter (similar to pancake batter).
Coat: Dip each egg-wrapped roll into the batter, ensuring it is fully covered.
Fry: Carefully drop the rolls into hot oil. Fry until they are deep golden brown and crispy on all sides.
Drain: Remove and place on a wire rack or paper towel to drain excess oil.
Serving Suggestion
Serve these hot with a spicy mayo or a tangy chili sauce.
