Green chillies- 6
Ginger- Garlic paste- 6 tsp
Tomatoes- 3 (or 200 ml tomato puree)
Grated coconut- 1 and 1/2 cup
Chopped coriander leaves- 1 cup

Turmeric powder- 1/2 tsp
Garam Masala- 3 tsp

Instructions

Prepare the meatballs by adding 1 cup chopped onion, 2 chopped green chilies, 2 tsp ginger garlic paste, 1 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp garam masala, 1 tbsp coriander powder, salt and lemon juice to the minced meat.
Mix well and let the minced meat rest for 20 minutes.
Add the whisked egg to the minced meat mixture and shape them into small balls. Wet your hands in between shaping the balls to get perfect balls.
In a grinder, grind the remaining onion, green chillies, ginger-garlic paste, tomatoes, chopped coriander leaves and grated coconut.
Heat oil in a pan and add the curry leaves. Once the curry leaves are crisp, add the ground paste and saute for 10 minutes till their raw smell abates.
Add the spice powders left after the marination of meatballs. Saute for 3-5 minutes. Now add chopped tomatoes and salt.
You can use tomato puree instead of chopped tomatoes. Once the gravy is thick and saucy, drop the meat balls gently.
Now cook the meatballs over low flame for 10- 15 minutes. Add a little water after 5 minutes.
The meatballs will release sufficient water to cook this curry the extra water is to add more gravy.
Once the meatballs are cooked the curry is done. (If you don't have grated coconut, you can add instant coconut milk towards the end of this curry and bring it to a final boil. I do this when I don't have grated coconut.)
Serve it with rice and enjoy!
