Kofta Curry is an Indian dish you must try if you love Indian food as much as I can. It’s so flavourful, and nothing compares to its goodness. I learned this recipe a while ago, and ever since, I’ve cooked it several times in a month!
Savoury Kofta Curry
Kofta curry is an Indian dish made of ground lamb. It's so good, I find myself making it multiple times a month. Here's the recipe you can try at home.
Ingredients
1 pound ground lamb (minced lamb) - lean, uncooked- ½ cup green hot chilli peppers - chopped finely
¼ teaspoon ground allspice (also called pimento or Jamaican Pepper)
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 large yellow onion - thinly sliced
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon Sea salt- ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
½ cup cilantro- 1½ tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
Instructions
- Fry a third of the sliced onions in oil. Mix with ground lamb, green chills, allspice, cinnamon, and ½ tablespoon of ginger-garlic paste. Form into 1-inch balls. Set aside.
- Grind the remaining onions. Mix ground coriander and 1 tablespoon of ginger-garlic paste with the onions. Add turmeric and red pepper to the mixture.
- Heat oil. Add the above mixture to the oil. Then, mix in tomato paste. Saute the masala until the oil separates.
- Add meatballs to the masala mixture. Be careful with the meatballs so they don’t fall apart.
- Carefully move them around with a ladle for about 5 minutes until the meat changes colour. Pour in the water, salt, and cilantro. Cover and cook on low heat for about 15 minutes.
- Serve hot.
