Technology of preparation of chicken jalebi and its sensory attributes
Chicken jalebis- a new snack was prepared by incorporating 23% non meat ingredients(Black gram flour, Bengal gram flour, corn flour, rice flour, semolina flour) at different proportions with 55% chicken (Broiler meat) to find out the best formulation without affecting the physico-chemical, microbial and organoleptic qualities of the product. Non meat ingredients were fermented for 24 hrs with curd at room temperature. Chicken was collected from local market, deboned, minced and processed. Different formulations of chicken jalebi batter were prepared by mixing broiler minced meat with fermented non meat ingredients, spices, oil, salt and ice to form a stable emulsion. The batter is then stuffed in a conical shaped plastic packet and pressed in such a manner to give a jalebi shape and then fried in sunflower refine oil at 180±50C for 5-10mins. One part of the chicken jalebis was immersed in tomato sauce, prepared from tomato magi sauce with little modification and other part was kept as such and then sensory attributes were evaluated and it was found that chicken jalebi containing rice flour was highly accepted by the consumers.
