Yummy koftey (meat balls) Learned from somewhere else not my original recipe.
Recipe ❣️ For kofta ❣️
Beef mince 1/2 kg
Onion 1 medium
Garlic 5-6 cloves
Ginger 1 inch piece
Green chillies 2 medium
Fresh coriander 3 Tbsp
White zeera 1 tsp ( bhuna hua na ho )
Salt 1 tsp
Red chilli flakes 1 tsp
Degi laal mirch 1/2 tsp
Garam masala 1/2 tsp
Lightly dry roasted rice flour 3 Tbsp ( I measure 3 Tbsp rice. Wash and pat dry, grind and then dry roast it )
Yogurt 1 Tbsp
Egg 1 ( if allergic to egg then skip it and instead use 1 Tbsp finely ground almonds or 1 Tbsp cream)
Method: # Chop onion, garlic, ginger, green chilli, fresh coriander and zeera in a chopper. Then add mince to the chopper along with all the spices and rice flour except yogurt and egg. # Once done take it out into a bowl and mix in yogurt and egg. Knead the mince so everything is well combined. # A great tip for tender and moist koftas is to have good amount of moisture in your kofta mix. Meaning the mince mixture shouldn’t be too dry. # Give at least 30 mts resting time to the mince for it to soak in all the flavours. # Grease your hands with italia olive oil and make smooth balls to the size of your liking . # Now heat some Italia Olive Oil in a non stick pan and fry the meat balls on medium to high flame just moving the pan occasionally to achieve even colour.
For gravy:
Garlic 1 Tbsp
Tomatoes 2 medium
Yogurt 1/3 cup
Green illaichi 2-3 Cloves
Salt as required
Degi laal mirch 1 tsp
Haldi 1/4 tsp
Bhuna kuta dhania and zeera 1 tsp each Italia Olive Oil 1/4 cup or 1/2 cup if you like more roghan
Method:
# Fry onion till light golden and then add garlic ginger and cook till aromatic. # Now add in all the spices and tomatoes with a splash of water. Bhoonofy till the oil comes out. Blend this masala along with the yogurt into a fine paste. # Heat some ghee or butter in the pan and add cardamom and cloves . When they began to sizzle then add the paste . Cook it on med to high for 2-3 mts and then add koftas. # Now add water just enough to cover the koftas. Plz do not add two much water at once . You can always add later. # Cover the pan and let the koftas cook in the gravy for about 10 mts till the oil comes on top. # Add few green chillies, fresh coriander leaves and sprinkle some garam masala and bhuna kuta zeera and immediately cover the lid to let the flavours infuse.
