- 1 tbsp ginger garlic paste
- ½ cup carrot cut in small cubes
- ½ cup onions sliced
- ½ cup cabbage sliced finely – optional
- 1 tsp red chili flakes
- 1 tsp mixed herbs
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp white vinegar
- 1 tsp red chili sauce
- ½ cup coriander leaves
- ½ tsp black pepper powder
- 2 slices bread torn
- 1 piece egg
To make the lollypops:
- 2 cubes cheese each cut into four smaller cubes
- 8 pieces ice cream sticks
To make the slurry:
- 2 tbsp corn flour
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp red chili powder
- ½ cup water
For coating the lollypops:
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
For deep frying the lollypops:
- Cooking oil Adequate amount
Instructions
- Take a mixer grinder and put 250 gm of boneless chicken, 1 tbsp of ginger garlic paste, ½ cup of fresh carrot cut in small cubes, ½ cup of sliced onion, ½ cup of finely sliced fresh cabbage if you want, 1 tsp of red chili flakes or red chili powder, 1 tsp of mixed herbs, 1 tsp of salt, 1 tsp of soy sauce, 1 tsp of white vinegar, 1 tsp of red chili sauce or tomato sauce, ½ a cup of fresh coriander leaves, ½ tsp of black pepper powder, 2 slices of fresh bread torn in small pieces, and 1 egg. (Pro tip: Do not add water).
- Make a fine paste of all these ingredients. Transfer it to a bowl and keep aside for the flavors to blend together well.
- In the meantime, take two pieces of cheese cubes. Cut each of them into four smaller identical cubical pieces.
- Insert the ice cream sticks in each of these cheese cubes. Keep them aside. (Pro tip: Do not rush the process. Be careful not to break the cheese cubes).
- Now take a fresh bowl to make the slurry. Take 2 tbsp of corn flour, ½ tsp of salt, ½ tsp of red chili powder, and ½ cup of normal water and mix them nicely. Keep it aside. (Pro tip: Adjust the quantity of water as needed. The slurry should not be too runny or too thick).
- Also, take 1 cup of freshly made breadcrumbs on a separate plate. (Pro tip: You can take store-bought breadcrumbs as well if you do not want the hassle of making it).
- Now, take a little bit of the chicken mixture on your palm greased with oil, flatten it, place the cheese sticks, and cover it nicely from all sides to shape the lollypops. Keep them aside to set. (Pro tip: Make sure that the cheese is covered properly to prevent it from melting while frying the lollypops).
- Coat the lollypops first with the slurry and then with the breadcrumbs. Repeat the process to double coat the lollypops for additional crunchiness. Keep them aside when done to set properly. (Pro tip: You may keep it in the refrigerator for half an hour for best results and prevent the breadcrumbs from falling apart while frying).
- Heat oil and fry the lollypops carefully to golden brown on medium flame. Flip them carefully to fry nicely from all sides. (Pro tip: Do not overcrowd the pan. Fry the lollypops in batches of four for best results).
- Remove the lollypops and put them on a plate covered with tissue paper to absorb the excess oil.
- Serve them hot with tomato ketchup.

Notes
I prefer using red chili flakes in my recipe. However, if you do not have it at home, you may use red chili powder of an equal amount as an alternative.
Adding cabbage is not mandatory. It can be skipped or replaced with other vegetables.
Bread is a good binding agent. However, you can add boiled potato of you do not have bread at home.
I have used standard Amul cheese cubes in my recipe. You can use mozzarella if you want.
If you think adding red chili sauce will make the lollypops too spicy for your kids, replace it with classic tomato ketchup.
