How to prepare Mutton Kola Urundai / Koftas Tamil Nadu style Heat one tablespoon oil in a fry pan, add the cinnamon, clove, cardamom and the red chillies.
Then, add curry leaves, saunf, ginger, onion, green chilies and garlic one after the other and saute well.
As the vegetables starts getting golden, add the roasted grams / pottukadalai, cashew nuts and grated coconut. Stir well and fry till the coconut turns golden.
Grind all the fried ingredients together to a smooth paste and keep aside. Sprinkle a little water if needed.
MIx the beaten egg to the masala paste as well as the minced meat. Mix well. Shape into round balls and deep fry in hot oil. Drain and remove from fire.
Serve with Tomato Sauce / Ketchup.
Points to NoteUsually the minced meat is added raw in the recipe. If you have doubts about the cooking of the meat , you can saute the meat first and then add to the masala paste.
You can also precook the meat separately but the taste will be different as you might have to leave out the extra juices.
While you fry the Kola balls see that the oil is not smoking. If the oil is too hot, the balls will brown quickly on the outside but will remain uncooked in the centre. The kola balls should be fried in medium fire or better still simmer every now and then if you feel the oil is getting too hot.
