I absolutely love taking the easy way out. In my head I was planning to make kofta and chana masala separately but the laziness in me decided to make it one-pot. 😉
Also, combining the minced meat and chick peas kind of doubles the portion – so helpful in times like today.
Ingredients: Ghee - 2 tbsp Cumin - 1 tbsp Cardamom - 1 Onion - 1 (chopped) Green chilli - 2 (chopped) Turmeric - 1/2 tsp Red chilli powder - 2 tbsp Coriander powder - 3 tbsp Ginger-garlic paste - 1 tbsp Minced meat - 1 lb Chana (Chick peas) - 1 cup (soaked overnight) Garam Masala - 1/2 tsp Meat masala - as needed Salt - as needed Water - as needed Coconut milk - 1/4 cup Lemon juice/conc. - 1 tsp Step 1: Heat some ghee and add in cardamom, cumin, onions and green chillies. Saute until onions turn translucent. Step 2: Spoon in the turmeric, red chilli, coriander powder and ginger-garlic paste. Step 3: Now, mix in the chana and keema. Add water as needed. Add additonal meat masala to adjust the flavor as needed. Step 4: Cook until done. Add coconut milk and garam masala towards the end. Adjust salt as per taste. Add a little lemon juice for tanginess. Note: This can be made as gravy to enjoy with rice or as in picture to go with butter naan/roti. 🙂
