Blend the shallots, garlic, and chilies until smooth. In a pan, sauté the blended spices along with 2 kaffir lime leaves until fragrant. Add the grated carrot and a little water to help cook. Then stir in the shredded chicken. Season with sugar, salt, MSG, pepper, and chicken stock powder according to taste. Once the mixture starts to dry, add the flour-water slurry and stir continuously until thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and egg. Gradually add water while stirring to avoid lumps, then strain the batter for smoothness. Add salt, pepper, chicken stock powder, and melted margarine. Mix until well combined.
Heat a non-stick pan (around 18 cm diameter). Pour a thin layer of batter and cook like a crepe until set but not browned. Repeat until all batter is used.
Place a spoonful of filling on the cooked skin, fold the left and right edges inward, then roll tightly like a wrap. Repeat this process until all skins and filling are used.
Mix flour and water to make a dipping batter. Dip each risoles roll into the batter, then coat thoroughly with bread crumbs. Chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to help the coating set.
Deep fry the risoles until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
