Into this add chopped onions, ginger garlic paste 1.5 tsp and 1 chopped green chilli. Saute this very well.
When the onion turns pink and translucent add red chilli powder 1.5 tsp, turmeric powder 1.5 tsp and garam masala. Saute this well on medium flame.
Into this add the shredded chicken and salt. Mix everything very well.
Now add boiled mashed potatoes and chopped Coriander leaves. Nicely mix all the things and cook for about 3 mins and turn-off the flame.
Now our chicken mixture is ready.
Now in a bowl take grated cheese, chopped mint and green chilli.
Mix this well and keep aside for inner filling.
Take little chicken mix and flaten it then in between keep the cheese mix.
Roll it into a nice oval ball.
Take each ball dip in beaten egg and coat with bread crumbs.

Lovely golden brown crispy chicken bites are ready.
Have it hot with your choice of sauce or dipping and enjoy melted cheesy center filled chicken bites.
