15 slices bread
250 g chicken
3 green chiles (such as serrano, or use chopped fresh or frozen New Mexico green
chile)
1 large sized tomato
1 onion
50 g coriander or parsley
1 teaspoon red chile powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cheese spread or some pizza toppingSoak the bread slices in water for 10
minutes. Boil the chicken and make shreds (not too thin). Fry the chicken shreds
for a few seconds only -- careful, they burn easily! Chop the chiles into tiny
pieces and dice the tomato. The coriander or parsley and the onion should be
finely chopped. Squeeze the water out from the bread slices and mash them in a
mixing bowl. Mix all the ingredients except for than the cheese spread and salt
thoroughly. Add salt to taste and start making balls of the mixture. Flatten the
balls to make them look like round discs about 1/2-inch thick. Shallow-fry
Tikkies on low flame till reddish-brown. The cheese spread or pizza topping
serves as a good dipping sauce. Serve hot!
