Ingredients:

• Mutton (minced) – 1.5 lb cut into medium sized pieces
• Onions – 2 big (chopped finely)
• Green Chillies – 3 big chopped
• Ginger – 1/2 inch chopped
• Garlic – 4 cloves
• Coconut grated – 1/4 cup
• Gram flour/Pottu kadalai flour – 2 tbsp
• Turmeric powder – 1/2 tsp
• Chilli powder – 1 tsp
• Coriander powder – 1/2 tsp
• Cumin seed powder – 1/2 tsp (optional)
• Saunf – 1.5 tsp
• Garam masala items – 1 tsp (cloves – 1, cinnamon stick – 1, bay leaf – 1)
• Salt – to taste
• Oil
• Coriander leaves(Cilantro).

Method:

Blanch the minced mutton in water for a while. Then when it has cooled a bit, grind it with half the ginger, half of the saunf, half the green chillies. Before removing from blender, add 1/4 chopped onions and grind for 2 secs. Remove from blender and mix this with salt, little turmeric, and gram flour. Mix really well – should have a dough like consistency. Make small lemon sized balls out of this and set aside.

Grind the ginger, garlic, saunf, coriander and green chillies with half the onions (with little water) and set aside. Grind the grated coconut with some water and set aside.

In a pan, heat oil and add the garam masala items and then add the rest of the onions. Saute the onions for a while. To this, add a little turmeric and the grated chilli paste. Fry for a while. Then, add some water and bring to a boil. Stir in the coconut paste to this. Bring to a boil.

Then, add the balls one by one to this mix, close the lid and allow to cook for atleast 15 minutes. Make sure the balls do not break by overcooking. Add the coriander leaves for garnish.
