1kg chicken mince
1 packet Shan seekh kabab masala
1 tsp ginger paste
1 tsp garlic paste
½ onion (finely chopped)
2-3 tbsp green chilli
2 tbsp yogurt
2 tbsp coriander leaves (finely chopped)
2 tbsp oil
1 tsp whole cumin
1 large tomato (chopped)
1 can diced tomato
1 tsp cumin powder
½ tsp salt
green chillies to garnish
coriander leaves to garnish
Directions
- To the chicken mince add Shan seekh kabab masala, ginger paste, garlic paste, onion, green chilli, yogurt, and coriander leaves. Mix well and marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
- Prepare the curry by heating oil in a pan. Add whole cumin and fry for a minute.
- Add the chopped fresh tomato, canned diced tomatoes, cumin powder, half the coriander leaves, half the green chillies, and salt. Cook uncovered on medium heat for 5-8 minutes (till the water dries out and oil rises to the top).
- While the curry is cooking, prepare the meatballs (koftay). Try to keep these as evenly sized as possible so that they cook at the same time.
- When the curry is ready, add the koftay and cook on a gentle simmer (covered) for 15-20 minutes.
- Garnish with the reserved coriander leaves and green chillies.
- Serve with pea pulao or naan.
