Chicken Kofta Kurma

I often make chicken balls as an appetiziers specially for many birthday parties, since its always an hit among the little ones just with ketchup..everytime, my close friends ask me to prepare chicken balls for their partyfor starters..This time i have turned them as kurma without deepfrying or steam cooking the chicken balls and prepared a delicious kurma with these chicken balls..This yummy kurma goes tremendously with rice, just with bread toast or either with rotis..My H literally relished this kurma and enjoyed them with rotis for our sterday dinner..Sending this droolworthy kurma to Sameena's Chicken Recipes Event..
