Carrot grated and ground - 1 carrot, medium sized

Coriander leaves - quarter a cup, very finely sliced
Onion - 1, big, finely sliced
Oil - 1 tbsp
For the egg batter
Egg - 4 nos, large
Milk - 3 tbsp
Salt - to taste

PREPARATION
- For minced chicken - Marinate 250 gms of chicken pieces with turmeric powder, chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Add half a cup of water and cook it until the chicken is done and water gets dried completely. (add fewer spices and salt than required). When done, let it cool and shred the chicken and mince it or pulse it in the grinder. Set aside.
- For egg batter - Beat eggs, milk, salt, and pepper well in a wide bowl. Set aside.
- For the chicken filling - Heat a pan with oil. Saute onion until golden. When done, set aside half of the sauteed onion in a bowl. Now add ground carrot and saute well. Add half of the minced chicken along with garlic powder and salt. Saute well. Transfer it to a bowl.So our carrot chicken layer is done. Now let us prepare the green layer or coriander chicken layer. For that, add the prepared sauteed onion to the same pan. To this, add the minced chicken and garlic powder. Saute well and add sliced coriander leaves. When done, transfer it to a bowl. So coriander chicken layer is ready.
- So let us make the chicken cake - Remove the sides of the bread and set aside. Bread required for this cake depends upon the size of the pan used. So you have to use more or less bread than given in the recipe.
- Heat a pan and grease with ghee. Once the pan is hot, make the flame very low(very important). Now dip each bread slices in the egg batter and line in the pan. Keep the bread slices close to each other and make a round shape with these bread slices (you have to cut the slices to fill the gaps and for making a round shape. Please check the video given above).
- Then switch off the flame (very important). Spread the prepared carrot chicken filling over it evenly. Again cover the stuffing with the bread slices by dipping each slice in egg batter and arranging closely to each other. You can level the top with the back of a spoon or spatula.
- Grease the top with some ghee and gently flip the cake. (if you are worried to flip the cake inside the pan, then you can just invert it to another greased pan. ) Switch on the flame and make the flame to medium-low(note it carefully)
- Now pour a spoon of egg batter over it. Spread the coriander chicken filling evenly and cover it with bread slices (the same process). Level the top with a spatula, sprinkle some ghee over it and pour some egg batter. Garnish with coriander leaves.
- Gently flip again, pour some egg batter and garnish with coriander leaves.
- When both sides are done, transfer it to plate.
- Once cooled, cut into desired shapes.
