Chicken Meatballs Curry

Chicken Meatballs Curry

Ingredients

2 packets frozen chicken meatballs (I prefer Sadia Chicken Meatballs)

5-6 Kashmir red chillies, soaked for 20 mins and deseeded

2” piece ginger

5 flakes garlic

1 small red onion quartered

2 tbsp tomato paste (I prefer Al Ain tomato paste)

2 tsp garam masala powder (I prefer Mother’s recipe garam masala)

2 tbsp curry powder

1 tsp turmeric powder

1 can coconut milk

Cream for garnishing

Chopped Coriander leaves for garnishing

Directions

In a blender grind the soaked red chillies, ginger, garlic and onion to a paste and keep aside. Heat 4 tbsp oil and fry the masala paste till it releases oil from the sides. Add garam masala, curry powder and turmeric powder and fry for 2 mins. Then add the tomato paste and fry for a few minutes. Add a cup of water and salt to taste. Add the frozen meatballs and simmer on low heat. When the meatballs are almost done, add the coconut milk. Simmer for 2 minutes till the gravy is a bit thick. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with chopped coriander leaves and cream.
