Ingredients: For the coftas:

1 lb ground beef or lamb

1 onion, finely chopped

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 tsp ginger paste

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp ground coriander

1 tsp garam masala

1 tsp salt

1/4 cup bread crumbs

1 egg, lightly beaten

Oil for frying

For the curry:

2 tbsp oil

1 onion, finely chopped

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 tsp ginger paste

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp ground coriander

1 tsp turmeric

1 tsp garam masala

1 tsp chili powder

2 cups tomato puree

1 cup water

Salt to taste

1/4 cup cream (optional)

Chopped cilantro for garnish

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, chopped onion, minced garlic, ginger paste, cumin, coriander, garam masala, salt, bread crumbs, and beaten egg. Mix well until all the ingredients are combined.

2. Using your hands, shape the mixture into small meatballs or coftas. Heat oil in a frying pan and fry the meatballs until browned on all sides. Set aside.

3. In a separate large pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 tbsp of oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown, about 5 minutes.

4. Add the minced garlic, ginger paste, cumin, coriander, turmeric, garam masala, and chili powder. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
