    How to make it?

    Boil Chicken

    In the pan take boneless chicken and add ½ cup water, green chilli, ginger and garlic paste. Mix well and cover. Cook for about 20 minutes on medium-low heat until the water dries. Dry out any excess water but do not burn spices.

    Let the chicken get cool enough to handle then shred it roughly with hands. Set aside.

    Make White Sauce

    Melt butter in a pan and add flour, chicken cube, black pepper and oregano powder. Sauté for a minutes on slow heat.

    Gradually add 1 cup milk with constant stirring to avoid lumps. Adjust heat as required. Let sauce simmer for few seconds until thickened.

    White sauce is ready, adjust salt if needed.

    Simultaneously, while making sauce boil water in a pot with salt and add broken spaghetti noodles. Cook for 8-10 minute or follow instructions on the packet. Add spaghetti directly to white sauce and mix so they do not stick.

    Add chicken and boiled spaghetti to white sauce and mix.

    Also add cream cheese triangles, mix well. Keep the mixture in fridge to cool while you chop veggies. ( You may add cheddar or mozzarella cheese instead. )

    Next add vegetables and green chillies. Mix. ( Keep the mixture again in fridge while you set the breading station, cool mixture in thick and easy to roll.)

    Whisk eggs With salt and red chilli powder. Also place little flour on a plate.

    To make spaghetti balls, tightly pack a measuring cup (¼ cup size) with a spaghetti mixture. Put the mixture on flour and roll coating generously.

    Press each ball lightly with hand to make it tight. Similarly roll 12- 13 balls. ( See tips in the beginning of post for shallow frying and to avoid bread crumb coating.)

    Coat balls with eggs.

    Then roll in bread crumbs. Roll again in egg and bread crumbs to form double coating of bread crumbs. ( Fry immediately or store in fridge for 24 hour and fry as needed.)

    Deep fry 4-5 balls at a time in wok on medium high heat until golden. Turn the balls 3-4 times for even frying. Remove balls from oil on a paper towel.

    Garnish with green onions. Serve hot with ketchup and lemon wedges.

    Tips:

    • If you find working on the breading station and double coating cumbersome. I have tricks for you too. Just coat the spaghetti mixture generously with flour and form a flat thick cutlet instead of a ball. Dip in egg and fry directly. The spaghetti cutlets are ready. Yeah!!!!
    • If you don’t wish to deep fry, make the spaghetti all in the shape of a cutlet and shallow fry.
    • Skip sliced green chillies if wanting the balls to be less spicy for kids.

      Was wondering if anyone has tried baking these vs frying? Does it still turn out the same?

        I don't recommend baking these as they won't be as crisp and golden. You can still try baking 2-3 balls if a little compromise in taste is OK for you. Fry the rest if the result is not satisfying.
