Healthy Hints

Make this dish healthier by using less oil and salt. You could fry the onions in spray oil or use a tablespoon of oil. Try minced chicken or turkey for a change.

Cooking Guide

1. Heat the oil in a large non-stick saucepan. Sauté the chopped onions until golden brown.

2. Add the tomatoes and stir for about 10 minutes.

3. Add the tomato puree, garlic, ginger, yoghurt, chili powder, salt, turmeric and coriander/cumin powder and stir.

4. Add a little water and cook on low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture turns into a smooth sauce.

5. Add 1 pint of boiling water and cook on a high heat for about 5 minutes.

6. Reduce the heat and add the potatoes. Stir and cover. Allow the potatoes to half cook.

7. To prepare the kebabs, mix together all the ingredients for the kebab mixture and shape into round balls about 1 1/2 inches in size.

8. Gently add the kebabs to the sauce while it is slowly boiling.

9. Cook for 10 minutes on medium heat.

10. Reduce the heat and simmer for a few minutes.

11. Add Garam masala powder and lemon juice.

12. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve with rice or parathas.

Bonus tip:

The Kebabs can be baked and frozen for later use in a kofta curry. Try it and you will be sure to love it!
