Ingredients

FOR FILLING

  • 350 gm cooked boneless chicken shredded
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 onion sliced
  • 1/2 tsp ginger garlic paste
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1/2 tsp Kashmiri red chilli powder
  • 1/2 tsp fennel powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper powder
  • 1/3 tsp garam masala powder
  • Handful of chopped coriander and mint leaves
  • Salt to taste

FOR LAYERING

  • 15 slices bread
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Ghee or coconut oil as needed

Instructions

  • In a saucepan, heat oil. Saute the onions with some salt till wilted.
  • Add the ginger garlic paste and cook for a minute.
  • Add turmeric, red chilli, fennel and pepper powders and give a good mix.
  • Add the shredded chicken and toss to coat well. Cook for five minutes.
  • Add the garam masala and chopped leaves, toss well. Adjust seasoning and set aside to cool.
  • Heat an 8 inch pan and generously drizzle ghee or oil on it and the sides for not sticking. Take off.
  • Whisk together the eggs, milk, salt and pepper.
  • Take off the crusts of the bread. Take one slice, dunk into the egg mixture. Layer on the below. Use five slices to complete the bottom layer without any space, you can tear and snuggle up soaked up bread to make a flat bottom.
  • Spread half the chicken mixture. Prepare one more layer as above with five slices of bread.
  • Spread the remaining chicken. Finish off with the remaining bread slices on the top.
  • Pour the remaining egg on the side to seal. Decorate on the top, if you like, like I did the coriander leaves.
  • Cook on low flame till the sides detach. Flip carefully and cook on the top side too.
  • Serve warm with tea...

Notes

Cook the chicken with salt and pepper till done and use in the recipe.
If baking, bake in a well greased pan so that the bottom doesn't stick. Bake in a preheated 180 degree oven for 40 minutes.
It is not necessary you need to layer the bread properly. Just make sure the layer is flat and all holes are covered by pinching the bread to cover up.
