Prepare the kebab mixture
Add the chicken mince into a large mixing bowl along with chopped onions, ginger, garlic, and green chillies. Mix everything thoroughly using your hands until the ingredients are evenly combined. Knead the mixture gently in the same way you would knead dough so the onions and aromatics blend properly into the mince.

Add eggs and spices
Crack the eggs into the mince mixture and add gram flour gradually while mixing. Add salt, turmeric powder, garam masala, crushed black pepper, crushed coriander, cumin powder, chilli flakes, and chaat masala. Stir well until the spices are evenly distributed and the mixture becomes slightly firm and easy to shape.

Mix in breadcrumbs and herbs
Crush the bread slices into fine crumbs using a grinder or food processor and add them into the mince mixture. Add fresh coriander and one teaspoon of oil, then mix everything together thoroughly. Let the mixture rest for a few minutes so the breadcrumbs absorb excess moisture and help bind the kebabs.

Shape the kebab balls
Lightly grease your hands with oil and begin shaping the mixture into small round balls. Keep the size even so they cook uniformly during frying. Arrange the prepared kebab balls on a tray or plate while you finish shaping the remaining mixture.

Fry the kebabs
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat until hot. Fry the kebab balls in small batches without overcrowding the pan, turning occasionally so they cook evenly on all sides. Continue frying until they become golden brown, crisp from the outside, and fully cooked inside.
