We love Sri Lankan Mutton Rolls and since Chicken 65 is a big hit in my family, I decided to make a Chicken 65 version of this classic.
Chicken 65 & Potato is mixed together, stuffed in a homemade crepe, dipped in a flour batter and then dredged in breadcrumbs and fried. This delicious crispy snack is a crowd pleaser!

Ingredients
Filling Fried Chicken
- 1 lb boneless Chicken
- Salt to taste
- 2 tbsps Ginger & Garlic paste
- 1 tbsp Red Chilli powder
- 2 tbsps Cornstarch
- 1 Egg
Filling Masala
- 1 cup finely minced Onion
- 3 tbsps sliced green Chillies
- 1 cup Curry leaves
- 1 tbsp Chilli powder
- 1 tbsp Cumin powder
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
- Salt to taste
- 3 tbsps Ginger & Garlic paste
- 3 tbsps Chilli paste
- Red Food colouring
- 1/2 cup Chopped Coriander
- 600 gms boiled mashed Potatoes
Crepes
- 2 cups all purpose sifted flour
- 3 cups water
- 2 Eggs
- Salt optional
Coating
- 1 cup reserved Batter make more if needed
- 1 – 2 cups Breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Boil Potatoes, mash & keep aside
- Add salt, ginger & garlic, red chilli powder and cornstarch to the Chicken
- Add the egg, mix it well and then deep fry the Chicken
- Make the masala by sautéing the onion, green chilli, curry leaves, chilli and cumin powder, pepper, salt, ginger & garlic paste, chilli paste and mix well together
- Add the red food colouring, mix and then add the fried cooked chicken and coat
- Add chopped Coriander
- Add the mashed potato and some more coriander
- Start with the pre sifted Flour, add Water a little at a time and whisk together to blend
- Add the Eggs and most of the Water
- Reserve about a cup for later
- Add the remaining Water in the batter as it thickens towards the end
- Add some oil to a hot pan, and pour in 1/4 cup of the batter
- Add it to the centre of the pan, and swirl it all around
- Allow it to cook, and then turn the pan around and tap it on the board
- Keep doing this cooking the crepes on one side.
- Transfer the crepes to another surface where they can cool completely
- Place the crepe down, cooked side down
- Add about 2 tbsps of the filling towards the top of the circle
- Fold the sides over
- Since we’ve cooked one side, the other side, is semi sticky and is easy to hold together when you fold it
- Fold over the top, tuck the filling in and roll
- Again since one side is semi sticky you will not need to add anything to seal the pan roll
- Roll the whole batch and keep aside
- Dip the rolls in the left over batter and allow to drain off the excess
- Dredge in Breadcrumbs
- Deep fry
