well first of all u drain all the free water of minced meat either its beaf or chicken..
well ur making a meat ball add some mashed bread pieces in this why it absorb all the remainig water .
meat balls should be boiled before cooking or before mix in curry.

Kofta talk Razz

>.....thats wat I want to call this topic now.
My experience is lil different from all of you as I always cook ckicken or fish so I use to make ckicken kofta.

As hotline said u must drain extra water from mince.
I add chopped corriander and mint leaves,chopped garlic and ginger,chopped green chillie ,a tablespoon yoghurt and browned crushed onion.
In dry masala I add salt,red chillie flakes,garam masala powder and fresh ground black pepper and a table spoon of corn flour for 500 gms of mince.Make medium size balls ( I make a dozen out of a pound as I like them a bit big)
For gravy I heat up the oil then add ginger garlic paste along with salt,chillie and corriander powder and turmeric.
Blend tomatoes and yoghurt in the blender and mix in the fried masala as it starts to heat up.
Carefully place koftaz in it and keep the flame medium high.
Dont mix withthe spoon the trick is in the rite flame and twist and turn the pan with handles from time to time so koftas roll and get even heat on all sides.
U can switch on the music to relieve the tension associated with koftaz Razz

Now when the oil seperates and koftaz are evenly browned from all sides U can add browned crushed onion if u like( i usually dont as i like light food).U can also add pepper corns curry leaves or bay leaves wagira wagaira.....
Now u can safely add water for gravy.dont cover till it starts boiling.
Simmer and Garnish before Serving....

PS: If anyone tries the recipe lemme know how they came out as I always cook koftaz and they neva break and everyone likes them.
