Preparation Time:

Cooking Time:
15 minutes
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Chicken:
- Begin by boiling the chicken breasts. In a saucepan, heat water with a pinch of salt. Bring it to a brisk boil, then add the chicken breasts. Cook for about 3-5 minutes until just tender.
- Once cooked, drain the excess water and shred the chicken into small pieces. Transfer to a bowl.
-
Prepare the Mixture:
- To the shredded chicken, add the boiled and mashed potatoes, grated cheese, garlic paste, ginger paste, chopped green chillies, coriander leaves, bread crumbs, salt, black pepper powder, and garam masala powder.
- Mix well to combine the ingredients thoroughly, forming a cohesive mixture.
-
Form the Pattice:
- Divide the mixture into equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it gently between your palms to form a round disc shape.
-
Coating the Pattice:
- Preheat oil in a kadai (or use a shallow frying method) over medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg. In another bowl, mix together the semolina (rava) and whole wheat bread crumbs.
- Dip each pattice first into the egg, ensuring it is fully coated. Then roll it into the rava-bread crumb mixture, pressing lightly to coat evenly.
-
Frying:
- Drop the coated pattices into the hot oil and fry until they turn golden brown and crispy on both sides.
-
Serving:
- Serve the Russian Pattice hot, as a delightful tea-time snack or as part of a Parsi meal.
- Pair it with green chutney or tomato ketchup for an extra flavor boost.
