METHOD

Rice-

Braise onion with oil, taj and Jeeru (Cumin) until lightly golden. Add water, salt and turmeric, cover pot with lid and let water come to a boil. Once water is boiling add rinsed rice and rinsed veggies to pot. Cook on medium heat ¾ way, stirring twice inbetween, then drop to low and allow rice to steam and puff up. Allow to cool a little and season with spice for rice. Sauce- Blitz parsley and lemon juice until liquidy. Melt the butter, mix with parsley mixture. (I strained it for aesthetics of picture). If you would like a thicker dipping sauce, may add fresh cream and boil together till thickened. Chicken- Remove chicken from bones. Place in magimix and form into mince. Mix all ingredients together with mince. If too wet add more fresh breadcrumbs. Mould into golf ball sized balls, push in ice-cream sticks, and leave in freezer for few minutes to firm up. Dip in flour, then egg, then kelloggs crumbs. Deep fry till golden and cooked through. (I washed chicken bones from the bone meat, and pushed into balls. I let it set in freezer then coated and fried the lolipops with the bones).
