Mutton Kola urundai (Minced Mutton Balls)

This is best for starters and if you find excessive mutton balls, you can prepare a normal gravy and add these balls. It tastes yummy. Ingredients are simple and the method too.



Ingredients

100 grams minced Boneless Mutton
1 tablespoon roasted split chick peas (pottukadalai)
4-6 Dry red chilly

Curry leaves
Coriander leaves
Salt
Oil for frying

Method

  • Wash the minced mutton once and grain water completely.
  • In a food processor grind roasted chick peas, dry red chilly, ginger, garlic, coconut, shallots, clove, cashew without adding water. If you feel difficult to grind just sprinkle some water and grind.
  • Then add the minced mutton and grind well without adding water.
  • Add turmeric powder, salt, fennel powder, egg, chopped curry leaves and coriander leaves and mix well.
  • In a pan, add oil and heat in medium flame. Make small balls from the mixture and fry till it turns golden brown. This may take 3-5 minutes.


Note

  • Egg and cashews are purely optional, generally when i prepare this kola urundai i won't add these two, but in general it has been used.
  • Grinding the mixture without adding water is preferred.
  • If you have a feel that it may smell and taste raw, no worries..... definitely it won't smell or taste raw. 
  • Adjust chilly according to taste.
