INSTRUCTIONS

Report this ad

1. Cut bread to small pieces. Soak bread in milk for 10-15 minutes. Then using hand break any bigger pieces and make a smooth mixture.
2. Drain excess water from minced chicken.
3. Add all the ingredients mentioned under Meatball except Oil. Add bread milk mixture. Mix everything with hand till well incorporated.
4. If you feel the mixture is still wet and difficult to make balls then add a couple of teaspoons of bread crumb to the mixture. But the mixture should not be very dry. It should be little high in liquid content.
5. With wet hands make small balls of equal size. (Use a tablespoon to measure).
6. Add 1 table spoon oil to a pan (Preferably a cast iron pan).
7. Working in batches place the meatballs in a single layer. Don't over crowd the pan. Let it cook (on medium-low heat) undisturbed on one side. Then turn and cook further till the ball looks light golden brown in color.
8. Repeat the above process till all the meatballs are cooked. (Use extra oil if required). Keep the cooked meatballs aside and let it rest.

For the sauce

1. In the same pan add 1 tbsp oil. Add Whole red chilies followed by chopped ginger and garlic. Fry until the raw smell is gone but ginger-garlic is not browned.
2. Mix rest of the ingredients mentioned under sauce. Add to the pan.
3. Let the sauce comes to a boil. The sauce will start to thicken a little bit.
4. Add cooked meatballs. Cook on medium heat till the sauce reached the desired consistency and meatballs are well coated with the sauce. ( Because this will be served with rice I would prefer a bit more sauce in the final dish)
5. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions while serving.
