Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the minced meat (keema), grated papaya, tomato paste, gram flour, keema masala, and salt.
    Seasoned raw meat with spices, ginger garlic paste, and other ingredients for cooking.
  • Mix the ingredients thoroughly. The papaya helps tenderize the meat. Gently incorporate the chicken liver pieces into the keema mixture.
  • Shape the keema mixture into small balls. Cover each keema ball with the soaked rice, ensuring it's fully encased.

  • Steam the keema rice balls until the meat is cooked through and the rice is tender. Steaming ensures the balls retain their moisture and flavor.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips

  • For a richer flavor, consider using bone-in chicken thighs instead of boneless, skinless breasts.
  • Adjust the spices to your liking. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a touch of heat, or some dried herbs like oregano or thyme for an earthier flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when browning the chicken. This will ensure the chicken cooks evenly and gets a nice crispy sear.

Storage Instructions

  • Store leftover chicken and vegetables in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
