	* Exported from MasterCook * Lamb Kofta (Meatballs) Recipe By : Serving Size : Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Volume 8-11 Nov 2005 Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 small onion -- roughly chopped 1 piece ginger -- roughly chopped [2-inch piece] 2 cloves garlic -- roughly chopped 2 green chiles -- seeded and roughly chopped 1/4 cup cilantro leaves 2 tablespoons plain yogurt 1 pound ground lamb 2 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin 1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander 2 teaspoons garam masala 1/4 teaspoon chili powder 2 1/2 teaspoons salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 4 tablespoons oil Blend the onion, ginger, garlic, chopped chiles and the cilantro leaves together in a good processor until they form a paste. Add yogurt to the paste and mix well. Put the ground lamb in a bowl; add the paste and mix by hand, kneading the ingredients into the meat until thoroughly combined. Add all the spices and the salt and pepper and mix again to distribute evenly. Cover and refrigerate for one to two hours to develop and also to make the mixture firmer and therefore easier to handle. Wet hands and roll small into small balls. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large heavy bottomed frying pan. When hot, but not smoking, add about 10 meatballs in a single layer. Brown all sides by gently shaking the pan for 2-3 minutes. Don't be tempted to turn them over with a spoon or they will break up. Test a kofta by breaking it open to see if it is cooked through, there should be no pink meat showing. Remove and drain on paper towels. Repeat with he remaining meatballs. Serve with wooden skewers or toothpicks for picking them up. NOTES : Mint and cilantro chutney is the perfect side dish but other chutneys are also suitable.
