Allow to steam covered for 15-20 minutes until cooked through and soft. Alternatively, use a steamer if you have one. On completion, drain and return to the pot.

Lightly wet your hands, to stop the mixture from sticking to them, and roll into 4-5 meatballs. Place the meatballs on a lightly greased baking tray. Bake in the hot oven for 8-10 minutes until cooked through.
