To finish off a big plate of steamed basmati rice or flat breads, let us learn how to prepare meatball curry. Meatball curry is prepared by frying minced meat balls in hot oil and then immersing these fried balls in a prepared curry sauce. In India, meatballs are called as Kofta. Hence this curry is also known by the name Kofta curry. Meatballs are prepared and shaped to the size of gooseberries.
This is an easy to go recipe of meatballs, which can be prepared under 40 minutes. Once prepared, I bet this will become your family favorite in no time. Meatballs absorb all the flavors from the curry sauce when they are immersed and cooked in it. This recipe serves 2 to 3 persons.
You can use keema of your choice. Chicken, lamb(mutton), beef or pork can be used to prepare this side dish. To make a flavored recipe of meatball curry, we use spices like cardamom, cloves, cinnamon and curry powders. Adding fresh cream and butter makes this an amazing dish.
Mix all the ingredients to prepare meatball in a bowl. Using hands, mix well everything and form round shapes using this mixture. Do not overmix the ground ingredients as the meatballs may turn tough. Smearing little oil in your palm helps to make the balls easier. Once you finish shaping the meatballs, heat oil in a kadai and fry all the meatballs and keep it aside.
Then to the same oil, we are adding spices, onion and tomatoes. Once they are cooked, keep it for cooling. Then using a mixture ground them to a fine paste and keep aside. Then to the remaining oil add onions and saute till golden brown. Then add ground paste followed by curry powders. Keep the flame low. Add sufficient water to the mix and then add the fried meatballs when the curry simmers. Cover and cook the meatballs in low flame for 8 to 10 minutes. The flavor from the curry sauce gets deep inside the meatballs which makes it juicy and tender.
After adding the meatballs, make sure you do not over stir the curry. The meatballs may break if proper care is not taken. The gravy consistency completely depends on you. You can add more water if you need more gravy. Lesser water makes the curry thicker. Garnish the curry with kasuri methi and chopped coriander leaves.
