  • If you don't have minced chicken, you can cut the boneless chicken into small pieces and grind it.
  • Make a puree by grinding 2 tomato and keep it aside to use in the gravy.
  • make the paste of cashewnut and green chilli and keep it aside to use in the gravy.
  • Cut onions (2+1) into thin slices and deep fry them till they become golden brown and crispy to make birista and keep aside.

  • The soft mixture for wrapping the eggs is ready. Wet your hand a little.
  • Take a large portion of the mixture in your hand and flatten it as much as possible on your hand.
  • Place a boiled egg over it and wrap the egg well with the mixture, if necessary take a little more mixture and make a raw kofta.
  • Keep the koftas aside in a plate. Make the remaining koftas in the same way.
