Its decorated chicken dumplin. In Bengal we call it Chicken Kodom phool. These dumplings are shaped like flowers named “Kodom Phul” , which primarily grows in Tropical Region in India primarily Eastern and southern Part. The chicken dumplings look similar to the Kodom Phul. I have made few yellow and red coloured chicken dumplings using turmeric and red chili powder (instead of using food colour)to look closed to the original flower. The dumplings are cooked in steam with minimum fat so its healthy recipe. Key ingredients are chicken and rice. To make it healthier, it can be cooked using brown rice too. But it will take more time than usual time taken for basmati rice. Its best to cook with a rice which cooks fast.

Instructions
 

  • Wash and soak the rice for at least 1 hr. Brown rice takes much time to cook so it will take much soaking. Best result is with aromatic basmati rice. Strain the rice in a muslin so that it becomes dry. Pat the rice with muslin or kitchen towel.
  • If you want coloured balls the divide the dry rice. Add turmeric or chili powder to the rice. These will look similar to the Kodom Flower. Rest you leave original colour.
