CHICKEN AND CHEESE BOX PATTIES

These were made for our family gathering and were loved by all.  They vanished in a jiffy.

Ingredients
1 Cup Chicken - boiled and shredded
1/3 Teaspoon Black Pepper powder
3 Green Chilies - finely chopped
1/3 Cup Packed Coriander leaves - finely chopped
1 Spring Onion - finely chopped

For the Sauce
2 Tablespoons Butter
3 Tablespoons All PurposeFlour
1 Cup Milk
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Teaspoon Pepper
1/2 Teaspoon Mustard paste
1/3 Cup Cheddar Cheese
1/3 Cup Sweet Corn - boiled and lightly crushed or chopped

Samosa Patti or Spring Roll strips

To seal the Patties

3 Tablespoon All Purpose Flour
A pinch of Salt
Water as required to make a thick paste

Method
To make the filling
In a sauce pan melt the butter add the flour and stir it for 2 minutes, then add the milk, continue to whisk till well blended and smooth, cook till the sauce it thick. Take off flame add the chicken, coriander leaves, green chilies, spring onion, cheese and sweet corn, mix well. Make small equal size ball and keep aside

To make the Box Patties
Take one strip vertical and place another one horizontal (ie it should be a cross see pic), apply a drop of paste in  the center then place the other strip.

Place the ball of filling in the center

Then fold (see pic)

Trim the strip if it's extra and apply paste on the fold on the side 

Continue with the folding and applying the paste on each fold

Here is a perfect box... make all the patties and keep aside

Deep fry them in hot oil on medium flame till nice and golden. Remove on an absorbent paper.

Serve them with any chutney or ketchup. 

Actually the dips are not necessary for these as they are crispy , cheesy and melt in the mouth.

My Notes :

You can fry these in advance and keep them in the oven on warm mode... serve when required.  This is what I did.

If you do  not get strips , then cut the spring roll sheets into strips.  The trimmings you can fry and keep them to garnish your soups or salads.
