1/2 cup coconut milk (optional)

INGREDIENTS FOR THE BALLS:
1/2 kg. minced Mutton (raw)

Chop very finely: 1 onion
2 inch piece ginger (no garlic)
4 green chillies
Mint leaves 4 heaped tablespoons after chopping
1/4 tsp cinnamon powder
1/4 tsp clove powder
1/2 tspn salt

Mix altogether with the minced meat form into balls (cup the mixture nice and firmly in your hand while forming the balls so it holds together and does not break up while cooking) No need to use any egg/bread crumbs etc. for this. Add balls to the curry when bubbling and they won’t break up.

Method :
Fry onions with the full spices 4-5 curry leaves (balance qty.curry leaves to be crushed and sprinkled over curry when finished).
Fry till onions turn light brown. Add ginger-garlic paste and fry for 2-3 mins. Add tomato and all the powdered masalas and the 2 full green Chillies. Fry well adding water as you fry till the oil separates from the masalas; Add hot water and bring to the boil. Add meat balls and cook slowly till cooked. Add coconut milk if you like. I didn’t.
Cut and boil a few potatoes and add to the curry once the balls are cooked. Simmer for a few minutes and for this curry Squeeze a little Lime Juice
