Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Firstly we'll be making the kofta's. Start by cleaning your chicken breast and cut into 2cm cubes. Next, in a food processor add your raw chicken and process till it's all mushed into chicken mince. (If you don't have a food processor you can just cut your chicken with a knife continuously till it's extremely thin and small, like chicken mince).

  2. 2

    In a bowl, add your chicken mince, grated carrot, grated bread slice, mashed potato and all your spices - salt, pepper, paprika, chicken tikka spice, barbeque spice. Mix thoroughly.

  3. 3

    Using a tablespoon, measure out 1 1/2 tbsp and scoop your chicken mince mixture in your hand, shapinge them into meatballs. *Oil the palms of your hands to prevent the chicken mixture from sticking.

  4. 4

    Shallow fry your meatballs on medium heat till golden brown, flipping sides occasionally. Once golden brown, set aside.

  5. 5

    Now to start off with the curry. Braise onions and garlic till brown and adding the chopped tomato as well. Once the tomato is soft, switch off the heat and allow the tomato and onions to cool.

  6. 6

    Once cooled, transfer into a food processor and process till it becomes just a bit more liquidy than a paste should be.

  7. 7

    Add this to a pot with tomato sauce, potatoes, and adding your water but only 1/2 cup at a time.

  8. 8

    Once potatoes are soft, add the yoghurt, milk, spices - curry powder, jeera, koljana, chicken masala, black pepper, chilli powder, salt, sugar - and simmer for 5 minutes.

  9. 9

    Add your cooked kofta's into the curry pot and cook on low to medium heat for about 10 minutes then serve with rice or naan bread and enjoy!!

  10. 10

    The dish serves 8 people. *The chicken mixture for the kofta makes 18
