Ingredients:

• 1 cup Rice flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt (adjust to taste)
• ¾ cup Boiling water
• 1 cup Minced Chicken
• 1 Onion
• 1 Green Chili
• ¼ teaspoon Turmeric Powder
• 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
• 1 teaspoon Meat Masala (or a blend of 1 piece cinnamon, 2 cardamom pods, 3 cloves, ½ teaspoon pepper powder, and 1 tablespoon coriander powder)
• 5-10 Curry leaves
• 1 tablespoon Cooking Oil
• 1 small piece Ginger
• 3 Garlic cloves

Preparation:

In a mixing bowl, combine rice flour and salt. Gradually add the boiling water while mixing continuously. Ensure the water is piping hot. Knead the mixture into a large ball. Set aside.

In a pan, heat oil and sauté finely chopped onion until translucent and golden. Add chopped green chili, minced ginger, minced garlic, salt, and curry leaves. Sauté until the oil surfaces.

Add chili powder and meat masala (or the blend of spices mentioned) to the onion mixture. Sauté and add a tablespoon of water. Continue cooking until the mixture dries up and oil is released.

Incorporate the minced chicken and another tablespoon of water. Sauté until the water evaporates, and the chicken is well-coated. Allow the mixture to cool.

While the mixture cools, divide the rice ball into equal portions and shape them into small cups using your hands. If the mixture sticks to your hands, lightly oil your fingers.

Fill each rice cup with the prepared chicken mixture. Seal the open parts of the cups to form balls.

Create heart shapes from the filled rice balls.

Steam the heart-shaped Changu in a steamer or idly maker for 20 to 30 minutes.

Once cooked, remove the hearts from the steamer and let them cool slightly.

Serve the warm Chicken Rice Changu as a delightful snack. For added flavor, you can enjoy it as it is or pair it with your favorite sauce.

Chicken Rice Changu is a harmonious blend of minced chicken and rice flour, crafted into charming heart-shaped morsels. This delightful snack promises to tantalize your palate with its savory flavors and tender texture. Embrace the culinary adventure and savor every bite of this unique creation.
