This is the idea that occurred to me one night and I wanted to do it right away on the very next day. There were few thoughts in my mind like rolling chicken in cabbage and steaming it. But I had some doubts on whether that would look and taste great. So, what do I stuff in my chicken roll to give it a Sushi touch? Way back I had also seen Chef Vikas' Murg ke phool recipe, which fascinated me by its looks. So then I just took that concept and arrived at this dish.
Stuffed the minced chicken with the green smooth avacados, wrapped it in rice and steamed it. Then these rolls were cut beautifully to give a sushi like appearance. Never thought rice when wrapped in a roll and steamed would give such a funky look.
Spiky Chicken Sushi Rolls:
Here's the recipe.
1) Keep 1 cup rice soaked in water for atleast 1/2 hour. We will usebit for wrapping our chicken rolls. Basmati rice might give a better look when steamed.
2) Peel off 1-2 Avacado. Cut it into long medium sized slices. Season it with salt and pepper. Keep it aside.
I used avacado because it is very delicious and soft even when raw and gives a beautiful texture and color to the rolls. You can take any other green or any colored vegetable to give a good look inside.
3) Let's prepare our chicken stuffing.
Take 1 cup minced chicken. Add finely chopped green onions(6 strands), finely chopped garlic(1 tsp), garam masala powder( 1 tsp), black pepper powder(1 tsp), oil 1 tbsp, corn starch 1 tbsp, salt. Mix these well. Taste it to see if you would like to add anything more. If so, add it now.
I added few more ingredients like finely chopped cabbage, carrot, onion, butter, chopped coriander, ginger, chilli powder, soya sauce, vinegar to give it a dumpling kind of taste. But it's optional :-)
5) Drain out all water from the soaked rice and spread it in a plate. This will make it easy to cover our rolls with rice.
4) Now since we are ready with all ingredients, let's start making rolls.
Grease your palms with little oil. Take some chicken mixture and flatten it. Put 1-2 avacado pieces in the middle, vertically. Cover the chicken mixture over it to form a oblong kind of roll. Repeat the same procedure for other rolls. Now dip the rolls in rice so taht all sides are covered.
5) Steam the rolls in a steamer ( the same we use for making dumplings/ momos) for about 10-12 minutes. Or until the rice is fully cooked.
The rolls are ready. Gently remove them from steamer and cut each into 2-3 round pieces. Plate it such that all the stuffed layers are visible. It gives a white flower kind of look.
Serve the spiky chicken sushi rolls with some garlic chilli chutney or any sauce of your choice.
When you find dumplings cliched, try this. It has an interesting look and is simple and easy to prepare.
Enjoy :-)
