Steps

40 min

1

In a skillet, melt the butter and oil, then sauté the finely chopped onion with a pinch of salt.
2

Add the shredded chicken and curry powder. Stir in some chopped mint leaves if using.
3

Stir in the flour and cook, stirring, until it turns golden.
4

Gradually add the milk and broth, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.
5

Season with nutmeg and black pepper.
6

The béchamel is ready when it pulls away from the sides of the skillet as you stir.
7

Transfer the mixture to another container and let it cool. Once cooled, shape into croquettes, dip them in beaten egg and then breadcrumbs, forming them as you like. I made them round, but they're not meatballs!
8

Once shaped, freeze the croquettes so they're ready to fry in a skillet or air fryer whenever you want.

I made 17 round croquettes with this recipe, so you can estimate the quantity.
