Kashmiri Meatball Curry Directions
- Put lamb, flour, garam masala, cayenne, salt and half the yogurt in a bowl; mix together well.
- Shape into 16 long ovals.
- Heat oil in a shallow heavy saucepan, add cinnamon, cardamom pods, bay leaves and cloves.
- Stir-fry a few seconds, then add meatballs; cook until lightly browned on all sides.
- Add ginger-root ; cook a few seconds more. Stir remaining yogurt into water; pour over meatballs.
- Cover pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer about 30 minutes, until meatballs are cooked and almost all the sauce has been absorbed, stirring gently two or three times.
- Sprinkle with cilantro and serve at once.
Note: If meatballs release a lot of fat during initial cooking, drain off fat before adding yogurt liquid.
