1) Take a frying pan and sauté the spices except the garlic, ginger pastes and turmeric powder for few minutes until you get a pleasant roasted aroma. After, the spice mixture cools down, grind it.

2) Take the minced chicken and add to it the boiled potatoes. Knead it thoroughly. To the chicken-potato mixture, add ginger paste, garlic paste, onion paste, parsley paste, lemon juice, roasted spice mixture, turmeric powder, salt and sugar(as per individual preference). Knead the mixture thoroughly and make it into dough. Now, make medium croquette shaped chicken balls from the mixture and keep it aside.

3) Take a bowl and break the eggs. Add a pinch of salt and sugar, mix well. Now, dip the chicken balls one by one in the egg batter and roll them on the bread crumbs.

4) Heat oil in a frying pan and fry the chicken croquettes until brown, 5 to 8 minutes per side.

5) Sprinkle some fresh coriander and serve hot with tomato ketchup or any other sauces.
