  • 1 tbsp ginger paste
  • 2 tbsp garam masala (for the koftas)

  • Form the mixture into equal sized balls and keep on a plate.
  • Heat the oil in a pan and add the remaining onions. Fry until they are light brown then add the ginger and garlic paste. Fry for a minute.
  • Add all the powdered spices (coriander, cumin, red chili powder, 1 tsp garam masala, and turmeric) before frying for two to three minutes.

  • Add 2 cups of warm water to the spices and season with salt to taste. Gently add the meatballs. Do not stir for at least the next five minutes.
