4. Create Croquette
Using a spring-loaded ice cream scoop with a 5.5cm diameter as a measure, scoop croquette filling onto a baking tray and halve each with a knife. Shape each croquette into a ball. Place flour in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Lightly whisk the remaining eggs and place in a bowl. Place panko breadcrumbs in another bowl ready for dipping. Roll each croquette in flour, egg and then breadcrumbs, repeating the process until all are coated.

To shallow fry, pour oil into a small saucepan a third full, over a medium heat, until oil is hot and breadcrumbs sizzle and become golden. Add croquettes in batches and cook for 3 minutes, turning regularly until evenly coloured. Serve croquettes with tomato sauce or chutney.
