Add 500g chicken mince and cubed potatoes to a large pot.

Add 1 chicken cube, 2 sliced onions, 6-7 cloves of minced garlic, 1.5 inches chopped ginger, and 2 green chilies to the pot.

Pour in 1 cup of water and mix well.

Add 1 teaspoon of salt and mix again.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to medium.

Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken and potatoes are cooked.

Check if the potatoes are cooked and continue cooking until the water evaporates and the mixture is dry.

Once dry, switch off the flame and let it cool completely.

Once cooled, grind the mixture in a grinding jar to a fine paste without adding water, in batches if necessary.

In a bowl, beat 1 egg and add it to the ground chicken mixture.

Add 0.5 teaspoon black pepper powder, 0.5 teaspoon garam masala powder, and juice of half a lemon to the mixture.

Mix well and check for salt, adjusting if necessary.

Add 0.25 cup of bread crumbs and 2 tablespoons of chopped coriander leaves, mixing until combined.

If the mixture is too wet, add an additional 0.25 cup of bread crumbs as needed.

Shape the mixture into croquettes, rolling them in your hands to tighten them up.

Coat each croquette in homemade bread crumbs, pressing slightly to ensure they stick.

Prepare the croquettes ahead of time and refrigerate if desired.

Heat a pan with oil for shallow frying.

Once the oil is hot, add the croquettes and fry on medium flame until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side.

Remove the croquettes from the pan and serve hot with your favorite dip or ketchup.
