1

Heat coconut oil in a pot over low heat.

2

Fry finely sliced onions in the pot for about 8 to 10 minutes until golden brown.

3

Add frozen ginger and garlic, along with spices (salt, coriander powder, Kashmiri chili powder, turmeric powder) to the onions and mix well.

4

Add a can of chopped tomatoes to the mixture and stir.

5

Cover the pot and cook for 10 to 15 minutes until the tomatoes and onions soften and create a thick masala.

6

In a food processor, pulse fresh coriander and green chilies until finely chopped, then add to the beef mince.

7

Mix the beef mince with the processed coriander and chilies, and add the second set of spices (salt, coriander powder, Kashmiri chili powder, turmeric powder, whole cumin seeds).

8

Form the mixture into meatballs approximately the size of a golf ball.

9

Check the masala; if the oil has separated, add boiled kettle water and gently add the meatballs one by one.

10

Cover the pot and cook for 10 minutes without moving the meatballs to prevent breaking.

11

After 10 minutes, add potatoes to the pot and continue cooking.
