-Soak each piece of bread in a little water(add little water in a small bowl)and squeeze out the excess water by pressing the slice in between your palms and add these pieces into the chicken mix. -Grind the remaining 1 slice of bread and the cut-out edges**into powder(bread crumbs)and add to the cooking mixture to make the mixture firm.
-Once every thing gets incorporated switch off the flame and when cooled make small balls out of this.

Ingredients For The Coating

Maida/APF       3 heaped tsp
Water              1/2 cup
Salt              a pinch
Vermicelli      1/2 packet

-Now take each ball dip in the batter and then coat it with vermicelli.
-Heat oil in a wok and deep fry these balls till golden colour.

*Do not use fried vermicelli for coating because once you fry these balls they will turn very dark.
*If using long vermicelli just crumble them and make them into small pieces.
*You can use mashed potatoes instead of the bread slices  (in the filling).
