01
Step 1
Grate 4 medium potatoes and squeeze out as much moisture as you can using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.

Step 2
In a bowl, combine the grated potatoes with 3 eggs, chopped onions, diced capsicum, chili flakes, salt, pepper, chopped coriander, and a bit of all-purpose flour. Mix everything well.

Why you’ll love it
This dish combines crispy chicken with a hearty and comforting filling of potatoes and eggs. The contrast between the crunchy outside and soft, flavorful inside makes every bite satisfying. It’s a perfect meal for those who enjoy a mix of textures and rich flavors.
How to serve
Serve with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables to balance the richness. A side of tangy dipping sauce, like a mustard or yogurt-based dip, pairs well and adds a nice kick. This meal also goes well with a simple rice or bread to soak up any extra flavors.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or air fryer to keep the chicken crispy. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the coating soggy.
