Chicken Pav Sliders
Behold, as here comes my first chicken recipe...which I was finally able to make as I had someone to share it with. My husband is a vegetarian and so are most of my friends so I don't cook chicken recipes often as it's just too much work to make veg/non-veg at same time and I don't like to eat it alone without sharing some mutual love for chicken. When I made these it was a total nostalgic moment, as I have grown up eating kebabs & samosas with PAV from my favorite shop in Ahmedabad called Bera Samosas & Kebabs . Normally their samosas and kebabs are made from goat & beef meat but since I am CHICKENETERIAN (if that's even a word--lol) I made it from minced chicken meat. The flavors came out so similar to their kebabs that I was like in complete hangover after gulping down these treats. I shared it with my neighbors and they absolutely approve it 100 % and even asked me for the recipe. So here I am sharing my love for these CHICKEN PAV SLIDERS with all you beautiful peeps as grilling season is coming soon(hopefully). You can also make ahead these chicken patties and freeze them and just grill them or cook them on the pan when you want a quick bite. So my non-veg fam or chickeneterians like me if you have some nice minced chicken in your fridge try making these and don't forget to click some pictures and post them on your INSTAGRAM handles and tag me @spicendiced Here is the list of ingredients and quick recipe.........
