Blend 1 cup chicken pieces and 2 boiled potatoes in a blender.

Add 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 tablespoon milk powder, 1 teaspoon ginger, 1 clove garlic, 1/2 teaspoon pepper powder, 1 tablespoon onion, 1 green chili, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon tomato sauce to the blender.

Blend well until mixed.

Pour the mixture onto a plate and mix in 1/2 cup breadcrumbs.

Grease your hands with oil and take a portion of the mixture.

Place some mozzarella cheese in the center and cover it well to seal the cheese inside.

Prepare a slurry with 1/4 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon pepper powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/3 cup water, mixing into a smooth paste.

Dip each ball in the flour slurry and coat with breadcrumbs, adding extra breadcrumbs if the mixture feels sticky.

Store in the freezer for 1 to 2 months or fry immediately.

Fry in medium heated oil until golden brown and crispy, ensuring even cooking.

Serve hot with ketchup or your favorite dip.
