<Recipe for Chicken Kofta Masala (Chicken Dumplings in Thick Curry Sauce)
Ingredients
3 tablespoons salad oil
Whole spices Whole spices
200 g onion, chopped
10 g garlic, grated
10 g ginger (grated)
2 tablespoons aromatic greens (if available, finely chopped) (use the thicker roots and stems, too)
250 g can cut tomatoes (whole tomatoes) (add 50 ml water)
Half of powdered spices
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup water
For kofta (meatballs)
400 g ground chicken
10 g garlic, grated
Ginger (grated) 10g
80 g chopped tomatoes
2 tablespoons chopped Chinese cabbage, if available (the thicker roots and stems are also good to use)
1/2 green pepper, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
Half of powdered spices
Preparation
After mixing the powdered spice mixture well, divide it into two equal portions. Prepare a bowl or something similar, add all the ingredients for the kofta and one of the two equal parts of the powdered spices, and knead well.
Directions for preparation
1. prepare a frying pan or saucepan, add oil and turn on medium heat, then add all the whole spice mixture.
When a good aroma comes up, add onions and saute well over medium-high heat at first, gradually reducing the heat until golden brown. Reduce the heat to low, add the garlic, ginger, and aromatic herbs, and mix gently.
Add canned tomatoes and additional water, and bring to a boil over high-medium heat. After boiling, cook over medium heat for 1 minute, stirring to blend the tomatoes and onions.
4. reduce heat to low and add remaining half of the powdered spices and salt.
5. add water and bring to a boil over high-medium heat. Base gravy is ready; add 1 cup water (not included) and reduce heat to low.
Roll the kofta dough into dumplings about 3 cm in diameter and add to the gravy. It is easier to get the sauce to stick to the gravy if it is not rolled up neatly. Increase the heat to medium and simmer, trying not to break up the dough. 10 minutes of simmering and the kofta is done when the kofta is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened to a suitable consistency.
