Ingredients :
800 g lean minced lamb
1
teaspoon fresh ginger, grated finely
3 fresh chilies, chopped finely
1
teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon chili powder
2
teaspoons garam masala
2
teaspoons salt
1/2 cup yogurt
3
tablespoons ghee
1
tablespoon dried milk
1
teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
Method :
Use a bowl to mix in the ginger,
coriander, chilies, chili powder and 1 teaspoon each of the garam masala
and salt, adding 1 tablespoon of the yogurt to moisten the spices. Add
in the minced lamb. If the lamb is very lean, add a teaspoon of the
ghee. Mix well and
form into small oval shapes. Heat ghee in
a heavy saucepan, add the dried milk, sugar, remaining yoghurt, garam
masala and salt. Fry in the
ghee, then add half cup hot water. Bring to the
boil and add the koftas. Simmer,
covered until no liquid remains. Turn koftas
over, add half cup more hot water and the pepper, cover and simmer until
liquid is absorbed once more.Sprinkle the
dish with cardamom and serve with Indian breads or rice. Cover after
adding cardamom so its fragrance will not dissipate.
