:: How to make Delicious Mutton Kofta
Marinate the ground lamb with 1/2 tsp of red chili powder,
1/2 tsp of turmeric
powder and 1 tsp of salt for 2 hrs. Add the green chili,
half of the ginger, 1 clove
of crushed garlic, half of the chopped onion and the egg
yolk to the marinated
lamb. Form this meat mixture into small lemon sized balls
and set aside.
Soak the tamarind in 1 1/2 cups of hot water for 5 minutes
and strain. Reserve
the tamarind juice to one side. Make a paste with the
remaining red chili powder,
turmeric powder, coriander powder, tomato paste and a
tablespoon of tamarind
juice. Beat the egg white and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large heavy pan and fry the
cinnamon, cardamom
pods and cloves for a minute. Add the spice paste and fry
until the smell of the
spices comes out. Add the remaining onion, ginger and
garlic and cook until the
onion is soft. Then add the tamarind juice, tomato, cumin
powder and salt. Bring
this to a boil. Add the cubed potato and carrot. Cover the
pan and cook for 10
minutes. Then dip the meatballs in egg white and lower
them into the boiling
gravy. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes. Garnish with
chopped coriander leaves
and serve hot.
