Ingredientsfor 5 servings

1/2 kg Meat — minced
1 tsp Turmeric powder
1 tsp Chilly powder

1 tsp Chilly powder
1 tsp Garam Masala powder
2 tbsp Poppy seeds ground, Kashakasha
1 tsp Cummin seeds (Jeerakam)
2 Ginger 1 inch pieces
1 tbsp Garlic — crushed

Preparation

Step 1
Dip the tomatoes in 1 cup water and boil for sometime. Peel off the skin and crush fine(you can use liquidizer for crushing).
Step 2
Beat the egg white adding some water and set aside.
Step 3
Mix together the minced meat, turmeric powder, chilly powder, egg yolk, tomato sauce and pressed bread slices. Divide into small balls and set aside.
Step 4
Grind and make a paste of turmeric powder, coriander powder, chilly powder, garam masala powder, poppy seeds, cummin seeds, ginger and garlic. Set aside.
Step 5
Get a frying pan and pour oil. Heat the oil. Dip the meat balls in beaten egg white and immerse one by one into the hot oil.
Step 6
Fry the meat balls into a slightly golden color and remove the balls with a ladle.
Step 7
In the remaining oil, add cinnamon, cloves, cardamom and fry on low heat. Add green chillies and sliced onions and fry for sometime.
Step 8
Keep sauting and add the ground mixture with some water.
Step 9
When the water has dried up and oil has accumulated on top, add 2 cups hot water and the tomato pulp.
Step 10
Add required salt and boil the curry. Immerse the fried meat balls one by one and cover with a lid.
Step 11
Cook the spicy meat kofta curry on low heat. When the gravy has thickened, take it off the heat.
Step 12
Sprinkle coriander leaves on top and serve hot.

Tip

Fresh curry leaves make a genuine difference. Dried curry leaves are a poor substitute — if you cannot get fresh ones, increase the quantity and fry them longer.
