A Pakistani recipe consisting of meatballs in a spiced sauce with aromatic rice. I learned it at the Cookpad Home Academy workshop with @alfonso_lopez and loved participating and cooking it. I made a slight variation by adding cardamom.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare all the ingredients.
- 2
In a bowl, add the ground meat, which can be of your choice (chicken, lamb, beef...) and add:
- 1 tsp chopped cilantro or a handful if fresh
- Grated fresh ginger (peel it with the edge of a teaspoon)
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 1 pinch cayenne
- Salt
- 3
Mix everything well.
- 4
Form bite-sized balls with wet hands to prevent sticking, and place them on a plate.
- 5
Refrigerate while preparing the sauce.
- 6
In a deep pan, add a splash of extra virgin olive oil and sauté the finely chopped onion (only the amount for the sauce), a bit of salt, and a tablespoon of cardamom pods. I recommend counting the pods so you can remove them all later.
- 7
Grate some ginger into a small bowl and add the crushed garlic using a garlic press. (This ginger-garlic paste is very common in Indian cuisine). Add it to the onion in the pan.
- 8
When the onion starts to become translucent, remove the cardamom with tongs and add:
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 pinch cayenne
- 1 1/2 tsp garam masala
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 9
When everything is ready, add the meatballs and sear them on the outside, leaving the inside raw as they will cook later in the sauce.
- 10
Add the crushed tomatoes with a pinch of salt and stir.
- 11
Also add the tomato sauce, preferably homemade, and stir gently. Let it cook for about 20-25 minutes on medium-low heat, partially covered.
- 12
Start with the rice. In another pan, add extra virgin olive oil and sauté the remaining onion with a pinch of salt.
- 13
Rinse the rice several times until it releases all the starch and the water runs clear.
- 14
Add the rice when the onion is sautéed and cook it a bit.
- 15
Add 1/2 tsp ground cumin and the saffron strands and stir.
- 16
Add the water as indicated by the manufacturer, bring to a boil, then lower the heat and cook covered for the time specified on the package. Add salt.
- 17
After the koftas have cooked, add the yogurt, mix gently, and let cook for 8 more minutes.
- 18
Serve and enjoy 😋

Palak Kofta / Spinach Balls Curry Palak Kofta / Spinach Balls Curry
I had made this Palak kofta curry for dinner last night. Koftas turned out really delicious. My son gobbled up a couple of koftas just like that... said they tasted good as is and didn't want to wait until the curry was ready. The spices in the gravy were well balanced. Koftas had a thin crispy covering with soft flavourful center..Flashback⏪, my mom used to make palak kofta curry when I was a little girl. My last attempt at making these koftas was way back in 2001. As a newly-wed I wanted to impress hubby dear.😉 Needless to say, the curry did not turn out the way I had imagined or remembered how it tasted when mom made. Unfortunately, picking up phone & making a call across oceans, every time I attempted something to cook was not an option back then...blame it on time zone difference and high international call rates.😆.Current day⏩, years of experience and confidence in my cooking skills and a zeal for variety in my meals got me to making these palak koftas again. I must say, they turned out so delicious that I'm already thinking about other vegetables that can be used to making koftas..This is my contribution to the second phase of #itsprocessoverproduct.To see more of my work, follow onInstagram- @TheRedPlateChroniclesFacebook - TheRedPlateChroniclesWordpress - http://theredplatechronicles.home.blogLoveM❤️

Angoori kofta curry Angoori kofta curry
#Swadkasangam#mysteryweekThese shallow fried koftas prepared with the mixture of bottle guard, paneer and spinach, served with creamy and rich gravy.Because it is not deep fried, it maintains it's greenish colour which is why it is also called angoori kofta curry.I had seen this recipe on a TV channel. It was a dish of early Royals kitchen. Even though this recipe requires very few ingredients and cooking time how ever in today's time it is very rare to see this dish being prepared any where.I believe this is the reason why this dish is considered as a lost recipes.
