Ingredients
For the Tandoori Chicken Marinade
- 200 gm Chicken Breast cut into 1-inch cubes, boneless
- 100 gm Yogurt also known as curd
- 3 tbsp Tandoori Masala
- 2 tbsp Ginger-Garlic Paste
- 1 tbsp Chili Powder adjust to your spice preference
- 1/2 tsp Salt to taste
For the Cheese Balls
- 100 gm Cheese grated, processed
- 100 gm Mozzarella Cheese diced into small cubes
- 2 Eggs lightly beaten
- 1 cup Breadcrumb panko breadcrumbs recommended
- 2 cup Vegetable Oil for deep frying
Instructions
Marinate the Chicken
- Combine cubed chicken, yogurt, tandoori masala, ginger-garlic paste, chili powder, and salt in a bowl. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably longer in the refrigerator.
Grill the Chicken
- Preheat your grill or broiler. Grill the marinated chicken until fully cooked and slightly charred, brushing with a little butter or oil halfway through for extra flavor and moisture.
Prepare the Chicken Mixture
- Shred the grilled chicken. In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with grated processed cheese and one beaten egg. Mix thoroughly.
Shape the Cheese Balls
- Take a small portion of the chicken mixture, form it into a ball, place a small cube of mozzarella cheese in the center, and seal the ball completely. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
Bread and Fry
- Dip each chicken cheese ball in the beaten egg, then roll in breadcrumbs to coat evenly. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or wok. Carefully drop the cheese balls into the hot oil and deep fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Serve
- Remove the cheese balls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce such as mint chutney, tamarind chutney, ketchup, or mayonnaise.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Tandoori Chicken Cheese Balls
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying; fry in batches to ensure even browning and crispiness.
- If you don't have a grill, you can bake the chicken in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Experiment with different types of cheese for variations in flavor and texture.
