Chicken Veggie Pockets ... Savory cakes made with chicken, carrot, capsicum & spring onion; prepared in a sandwich-maker.
A few months ago, I posted a recipe for cakes in a sandwich-maker ( taken from a TV show). They were a great hit. I've received positive feedback from some blogger friends who have tried it. But, if you don’t have a sweet tooth, try this recipe! This savory cake recipe is taken from the same TV show. These were good, but not as soft like the sweet cakes.
Chicken Veggie Pockets ( Savory Cakes in a Sandwich-maker )
*****************************************************************
Source : Masala MorningsMakes : 8 sandwiches
Ingredients :
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup cooking oil
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. red chilli flakes
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper powder
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1/3 cup boiled chicken, shredded
- 1/4 cup capsicum, chopped
- 1/4 cup spring onion, chopped
- 1/4 cup carrot, grated
- 2 green chilies, finely chopped
- Cheddar cheese slices, as required
Method :
- Sieve flour and baking powder in a bowl, keep aside.
- Beat eggs in a large bowl.
- Gradually add cooking oil and continue beating.
- Stir in salt, red chilli flakes, and black pepper powder.
- Fold in flour mixture.
- Add boiled chicken, carrot, capsicum, spring onion and green chilies.
- If the batter is very thick, add little stock.
- Prepare Sandwich Maker by brushing both sides of the sandwich maker ( cooking surface ) with cooking oil. Close and preheat until the light turns red.
- Spoon the batter in each well until full but not overflowing.
- Close the lid of the sandwich maker and cook for approximately 3 - 4 minutes or until golden brown & cooked.
- Take it out and cut it from one side to make a pocket.
- Place cheese slice in it. Serve with Ketchup.
Notes :
- Check after 3 minutes with a toothpick, if the tooth pick comes out clean, it's ready. If not, cook a little longer, checking after every minute.
- They are best eaten right away.
- I used Chicken Tikka chunks and also cabbage in place of capsicum.
- I haven't used cheese slices.
