Why This Dish Is Hard To Resist
Tips To Improve This Recipe
- Don’t overcrowd the pan when cooking the meatballs; cook in batches if needed for even browning.
- Let the meatballs simmer gently in the sauce to absorb more flavor without falling apart.
Step 1
Put the chicken into a food processor. Add salt, chili powder, coriander powder, pepper, cumin powder, roasted chickpea powder, poppy seed paste, ginger-garlic paste, and some fresh coriander leaves. Blend everything until you get a smooth mixture.
Step 2
Scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into evenly sized meatballs. Heat some oil in a pan, add whole spices, and let them sizzle for a minute. Then, carefully add the meatballs and cook them until they turn golden brown on all sides.
Step 3
While the meatballs cook, make the sauce. Heat a little oil in another pan, sauté chopped onions, ginger, and garlic until they’re soft and translucent (about 2-3 minutes). Transfer this to a bowl.
Step 4
To the bowl, add green chilies, tomato slices, yogurt, salt, chili powder, turmeric, coriander powder, and cumin powder. Blend everything into a smooth paste.
Step 5
Once the meatballs are nicely browned, pour the sauce mixture over them in the pan. Let it cook on medium heat until you see the oil start to separate from the sauce.
Step 6
Finish by stirring in some fresh coriander leaves and a sprinkle of garam masala. Give it a final mix, and your tasty chicken meatballs in sauce are ready to enjoy!
