    Curried Meatball Koftas


    – Fry an onion in a wok using ghee (clarified butter available in dairy or vegetarian form in all Indian shops).
    – Add some Indian curry powder (see elsewhere on this website) and fry for one minute until the aromas are released.
    – Add two chopped tomatoes, some tomato paste and a little water, simmer gently.
    – Mince some lamb.
    – Blend one or two green chilli peppers, some curry powder, chopped garlic and ginger. Add a little tomato paste.
    – Mix the spice paste with the lamb and some chopped coriander.
    – Now put your hot tomato curry sauce into the blender and liquidize. Pour back into the wok and add some water.
    – Using your fingers, form some small golf ball sized meatballs with the stick lamb mixture.
    – Place the meatball into the tomato sauce and gently cook for about 30 minutes. Add more water if the sauce becomes too thick.
    – Serve with rice sprinkled with grilled sesame seeds.
    – Decorate meatballs with some more chopped coriander and some plain yoghurt.
