ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground chicken

Ground turkey is leaner, while ground chicken is often less expensive.

Cut the beef into small pieces and wash it thoroughly.

Use a chopper to prepare fine mincemeat from the beef.

Add 1 teaspoon of salt, 1.5 teaspoons of ground red chili powder, 1.5 teaspoons of turmeric powder, 1 tablespoon of coriander powder, 0.5 teaspoon of garam masala, 4 tablespoons of roasted gram flour, 1 tablespoon of chopped green chilies, and 1 large chopped onion to the mincemeat.

Squeeze out the extra water from the chopped onion before adding it to the mixture.

Add 1 tablespoon of ginger garlic paste to the mixture and grind everything together until well combined.

Add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil to the mixture and mix well.

Shape the mixture into medium-sized koftas, ensuring there are no cracks.

Grease your hands with oil while shaping the koftas.

Heat 0.5 cup of cooking oil in a pan and add 1 black cardamom, 3 green cardamoms, and 3-4 cloves, frying them briefly.

Add 1.5 tablespoons of ginger garlic paste and fry until the raw smell disappears.

Make a paste of 2 medium-sized onions with a little water and add it to the pan, frying it well.

Add 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of red chili powder, 1 teaspoon of Kashmiri red chili powder, 0.25 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon of coriander powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of cumin powder to the onion mixture and fry well.

Add 1 glass of water to the pan and cook until the oil separates from the mixture.

Add the koftas to the gravy, keeping the flame low to avoid breaking them.

Cover and cook for 5 minutes to firm up the koftas.

Add 250 grams of whipped yogurt to the pan, stirring gently to avoid lumps, and cover for 5-6 minutes to let the water from the yogurt dry up.
