Although this version comes from Pakistan, this style of
curry is also made throughout Northern India.
Ingredients:
For the Koftas (Meatballs):
500g minced meat
1 onion, finely minced
4 garlic cloves, finely minced
pinch of freshly-ground black pepper
pinch of ground cinnamon
pinch of ground cloves
pinch of ground cardamom
2 green chillies, finely chopped
2 medium potatoes, boiled until tender, peeled and mashed
1 tsp salt
1 egg, beaten
oil for frying
For the Curry:
1 large onion, finely chopped
3 tomatoes, finely chopped
1 tsp ground coriander seeds
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
1/2 tsp ground chillies
1/2 tsp ground cumin seeds
1/2 tsp ground ginger
120ml coconut milk
120ml water
Method:
In a bowl, mix together the minced meat, onion, garlic, spices, chillies, mashed potatoes and salt. Blend thoroughly to combine then add the egg to bind. Form the mixture into meatballs about the size of an apricot. Heat oil in a pan, add the meatballs and fry until nicely browned all over.
Remove the meatballs with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the chopped large onion to the oil left-over in the pan and fry for about 5 minutes, or until golden brown. Then add the tomatoes and the spices. Fry for about 5 minutes more then stir in the coconut milk and water.
Bring to a simmer and add the meatballs. Cover with a lid and cook for 30 minutes, or until the meatballs are piping hot and cooked through. During this time shake the pan occasionally to gently move the meatballs about so that they do not stick to the bottom of the pan and burn.
Serve hot with rice.
