This is a great combination of chicken and vegetables. It is good as a snack, lunchboxes and as a side dish with a meal. You can even use left over chicken pieces and vegetables to make these.

Sweet corn -½ cup

Spring onion leaves chopped -4 tbsp

Cabbage - chopped 1/2 cup

Plain flour -4 tbsp

Milk ½ cup

Butter -2 tbsp

Cheese shredded- 2 tbsp

Salt -1 tsp

Black pepper powder 1 tsp

Crushed red chilly 1 tsp

All spice powder ½ tsp

Cumin roasted powder - 1/2 tsp

Coriander leaves chopped 3 tbsp

Green chilies chopped 2

Bread crumbs - for rolling

Eggs beaten - for rolling

Method:

Heat butter in a sauce pan  and let it melt then add flour with black pepper,all spice powder, cumin powder,red chilly crushed,salt and cook till raw smell of flour goes away. 

Remove from heat and add ½ cup milk mix well and add cheese. Cook it on low heat with constant stir or whisking to remove lumps and make a thick white sauce.

 Remove from stove and add chopped capsicum, carrot,sweet corn, spring onions, chicken, cabbage, coriander, green chilies and mashed potatoes. Mix well to form a dough, make them into flat patty / kabab or whatever shape. Dip in beaten eggs (add salt and pepper to egg if you like) ,roll in crumbs and shallow fry on high heat till it gets a color. Low heat can break them. Serve hot with evening tea or a meal with daal.

Note: 

Boil potatoes and remove from water immediately after they are tender as tend to absorb water if you leave them in water and will become sticky and soggy.

If you feel its hard to shape them due to extra moisture, add fresh bread crumbs.
