Step:

  1. First of all deep fry the onions and set aside. Soak rice, broken wheat and lentils overnight.

  2. In a pressure cooker, add soaked rice and lentils along with half a litre of water. Add salt to taste and pressure cook for 6 whistles.

  3. Meanwhile cook broken wheat in a pot until done. Cover and simmer on a low heat for about 20 to 25 minutes.

  4. Now to another cooking pot, add oil and ginger garlic paste along with all the 5 khada masalas mentioned. Fry them all for a minute and then add the chicken cubes. Also add all the spices along with the beaten curd and cook until done. After done, mash it well with a masher and keep aside.

  5. To this cooked chicken add the pressure cooked rice and lentil mix. Let the broken wheat cool down a bit before grinding it to a smooth paste. Or better still use a traditional gothni that is used for mashing it.

  6. Add this broken wheat to the chicken and lentil mix first and then mash it if using a traditional gothni. Also add fried onions.
