stuffed chicken and rice PUFF

Hiiii ,
been long long time since i started writing this blog , was stuck up with wedding preparation now all set
let me share a recipe shared by my friend and which was a super hit :)

Requirements:
  • rice 40 grams
  • chicken 80 grams
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tbsp coriander leaves
  • 2 small eggs boiled and de-shelled
  • 1 tsp curry powder
  •  juice of half lemon
  • 1 egg beaten till fluffy
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • spring roll sheets
  • oil for frying the puffs
Method:
  1. cook the rice in the stock until rice turns tender at time you may need to add a little water to get the right tenderness let it not be mushy though
  2. proach the chicken in water enough to cover it , once cooked remove it from water, flake and  de-bone it
  3. Now add the chicken, parsley , coriander salt , pepper, curry powder, juice of lemon into the rice and mix it thoroughly while heating it for a min , turn off the flame
  4. now take the boiled egg and slice it into half so now we have 4 halves
  5. Lay the sprong roll sheet on the table wet the edges of it with the beaten egg.
  6. divide the rice mixture into 8 portions
  7. place one portion of rice in one corner of the sheet and the top it with egg and again a portion of rice mix
  8. now fold the sheet as per packet instruction , else you can also place the mixture in the middle of the sheet and squeez all the edges to the centre and use beaten egg as the glue to paste it.
  9. once done heat the oil for deep frying once it heats up
  10. coat the entire puff by beaten egg ad drop it slowly into the heated oil.
  11. fry it till golden brown , remove from oil let it cool
