Instructions:- |
Prepare the Kofta: |
1. Mix the Kofta Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced chicken, finely chopped onion, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, coriander powder, meat masala, and salt. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined. |
2. Form the Kofta Balls: - Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape each portion into a ball. You should get around 15 kofta balls. |
Prepare the Curry: |
3. Sauté the Onions: In a large pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they turn golden brown. |
4. Add Spices: Add ginger-garlic paste, slit green chilies, and the sabut garam masala. Sauté for a few minutes until fragrant. |
5. Add Ground Spices: - Add red chili powder, coriander powder, and meat masala. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes. |
6. Incorporate Yogurt: Lower the heat and slowly add the whisked yogurt, stirring continuously to avoid curdling. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the oil begins to separate from the gravy. |
7. Add Water: Add enough water to reach your desired consistency for the curry. Bring it to a gentle simmer. |
8. Add Kofta: Gently add the raw kofta balls into the simmering curry. Cover and cook on low heat for about 15-20 minutes, or until the koftas are cooked through. Be careful when stirring to avoid breaking the kofta balls. |
9. Add Boiled Eggs: After the kofta is cooked, gently add the boiled eggs to the curry and let them simmer in the gravy for an additional 5 minutes to absorb flavors. |
10. Final Seasoning: Check for seasoning and adjust salt and spices as needed. |
11. Garnish: Once done, turn off the heat and garnish with chopped cilantro. |
