Instructions
Chicken Filling:
Heat oil in a pan and add onions and allow to soften.
Add garlic and allow to turn golden.
Add chicken, salt, black pepper, turmeric, cumin powder, paprika powder and oregano.
Cook until the chicken is well done and oil separates from the chicken pieces.
Potato Coating:
Mash the boiled potatoes and add salt and black pepper powder. Mix.
Add the fresh coriander to a chopper along with only a tablespoon of mashed potatoes.
Chop until a smooth green paste is formed.
Add this green paste to the mashed potatoes and mix well.
Make 1 inch potato balls with the mashed potato mixture.
Apply water to your hands. Take one ball in hands and press it to form a thin disc.
Add some chicken filling and shape back into a ball.
Repeat the process with the remaining potato balls. Keep aside for later use.
Bechamel sauce:
In a pan, melt butter and add plain flour to it.
Cook at low heat until the flour smells cooked.
Add 1 cup of milk and whisk until there are no lumps.
Add remaining milk, salt, white pepper powder and garlic powder.
Cook at low heat, stirring frequently until the sauce thickens.
Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Assembly:
Take a rectangular casserole and arrange the potato balls in it.
Pour bechamel sauce all over them and top with mozzarella cheese.
Lastly, top with red bell pepper cubes and bake at 200°C until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Enjoy over boiled pasta!
