Boil and peel 250 grams of potatoes, then grate them and add to the chicken mixture.

Add 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon red chili powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon crushed red chili to the mixture.

Add 2 tablespoons of fresh cream to make the mixture soft.

Form small balls from the mixture and flatten them to add cheese cubes in the center.

Coat the balls in flour, shaking off the excess flour.

Dip the balls in 1 beaten egg, then coat them in breadcrumbs.

Heat oil over medium flame for frying.

Fry the balls for 8 to 10 minutes on low to medium flame until cooked through and golden brown, increasing the flame for the last 1 to 2 minutes for color.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
