Step 1. Prepare Freezer-Friendly Burger Patties
- Combine ground chicken, spices (peri-peri, ginger, garlic, black pepper, salt, Kashmiri chili, regular chili powder), chicken cube, egg, milk, and bread crumbs. Mix well.
- Place a plastic bag on a lid, grease it with oil, and spoon the mixture onto the bag to form patties. Alternatively, shape the patties by hand.
- Dip each patty in a mixture of egg, cornflour, and milk; then, coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs. Fry until golden brown. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to an hour before serving or freezing.
Step 2. Prepare Freezer-Friendly Chicken Cheese Candy
- Boil chicken, then shred it. Mix with salt, ginger-garlic paste, vinegar, grated potatoes, your choice of vegetables, green coriander, ginger-garlic paste, green chili paste, spices (chili flakes, coriander powder, cumin powder, chaat masala, black pepper, salt), cornflour, eggless veg meat, lemon juice, and cheese cubes.
- Shape the mixture into small balls. Wrap each ball in candy wrappers or make round cheese balls. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to an hour before serving or freezing.
Step 3. Prepare Freezer-Friendly Spring Rolls
- Sauté garlic and ginger, then add green chili, boiled chicken, and your choice of vegetables. Add spices (cumin powder, onion powder, black pepper, chili flakes, salt), Maggi cube, sauces (green chili sauce, red chili sauce, vinegar, dark soya sauce), and optional ingredients (Sajwan chutney, chili garlic sauce). Cook for 2-3 minutes and set aside to cool.
