Perfect Lamb Koftas | Matz | Kashmiri Recipe- No Onion/Garlic | Chef Sandeep Pandit

ground lamb

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground beef

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

yogurt

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Greek yogurt provides similar creaminess with fewer calories.

pita bread

🥗Healthier: whole wheat pita

💰Cheaper: tortillas

Whole wheat pita adds fiber, while tortillas are often cheaper.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is more affordable and has a neutral flavor.

Start with ground goat meat in a bowl.

Add salt for seasoning, just enough to taste.

Add roven masala to the mixture.

Incorporate black cardamom into the mix.

Add 2 eggs for binding, as the recipe uses 500g of meat per egg.

Pour in mustard oil into the mixture.

Mix the ingredients thoroughly with your hands until well combined, adding more mustard oil as needed to achieve a silky texture.

If the mixture is too runny, add chickpea flour to thicken it.

Measure out 50g of the mixture and shape it into a ball, using oil on your fingers to prevent sticking.

Shape the balls into cylinders for traditional presentation, or keep them as balls for easier handling.

Prepare the cooking sauce by heating mustard oil in a pan until it smokes to remove bitterness.

Add cumin and fenugreek seeds to the hot oil for flavor.

Incorporate more roven masala into the oil.

Add salt to the sauce mixture.

Once the spices are sizzling, add yogurt to the sauce, stirring to combine.

Simmer the sauce on low heat until the yogurt is cooked through and the oil separates.
