How to Make Box Patties: Detailed Step-by-Step
Prepare the White Sauce:
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the flour and cook, stirring continuously, until it turns a light golden color (about 1-2 minutes). This is your roux.
- Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
- Add salt, pepper, and mustard powder.
- Continue cooking and stirring until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
- Add cheddar cheese, stir untill melted.
Prepare the Chicken Filling:
- In a bowl, combine the boiled and shredded chicken, chopped coriander leaves, chopped green chilies, and chopped spring onion.
- Add the sweet corn.
- Add the prepared white sauce to the chicken mixture. Mix well until everything is thoroughly combined.
Assemble the Box Patties:
- Take two samosa patti sheets.
- Lay one sheet flat and place the second sheet on top, forming a cross shape.
- Place a generous spoonful of the chicken filling in the center of the crossed patti sheets.
- Fold the sides of the patti sheets inwards to form a square or box shape, ensuring the filling is completely enclosed.
- Seal the edges with a little water or a flour paste if needed.
Deep Fry the Box Patties:
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan or kadhai over medium heat.
- Carefully place the assembled box patties in the hot oil.
- Fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
- Remove the patties from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve the box patties hot with your favorite chutney or ketchup.
