Hi, just saw this recipe. Though not vegetarian, we don't take mutton. So I, replaced it with meal maker (made from soya). Turned out tasty!

turmeric - 1/4 tsp
salt
ginger - 2 tsp grated

oil to deep fry

1. place mince, turmeric, and salt in a pan and saute on low flame till all the water evaporates
2. grind with rest of the items.
3. make small balls and deep fry in oil.


for the gravy: make normal khorma and add the mince balls.

another method is dont deep fry the balls....put them in to the khorma when simmering...cook till done and serve. :)
