Notes

1. Egg brushing forms some bubbles while deep frying, nothing to worry its normal.
2. I used carrot/paneer grater to grate onion to thin slices.
3. If u have left over chicken juice, use it in gravies or biryani you prepare.
4. Make any desired shape.
5. I used homemade whole grain bread crumbs.
