   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced chicken and minced beef. Mix well until thoroughly blended.

2. Add Aromatics and Spices:

   • Incorporate the minced garlic and finely chopped onion into the meat mixture. Stir until evenly distributed.

3. Season the Mixture:

   • Add the ground nutmeg, ground black pepper, salt, granulated sugar, and chicken stock powder to the meat mixture. Mix thoroughly to ensure all the spices and seasonings are well incorporated.

4. Incorporate the Eggs:

   • Pour in the beaten eggs and mix until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

5. Add Breadcrumbs:

   • Gently fold in the fine breadcrumbs. Continue to mix until the breadcrumbs are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

6. Adjust Seasoning:

   • Taste the mixture and adjust the salt and sugar according to your preference.

7. Prepare for Steaming:

   • Cut the banana leaves into squares large enough to wrap the meat mixture. If the leaves are tough, you can soften them by briefly heating them over a flame or in hot water.

8. Form and Wrap the Galantine:

   • Place a portion of the meat mixture (approximately 300 grams) onto each banana leaf square. Form the mixture into a log shape, then carefully fold the edges of the banana leaf around the meat to create a tight, secure roll.

9. Steam the Galantine:

   • Arrange the wrapped galantines in a steamer basket. Steam over medium heat for about 45 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through and firm to the touch.

10. Serve:

    • Remove the galantines from the steamer and let them cool slightly before unwrapping. Slice and serve warm as a main dish or appetizer.
