There are actually two ways to make this mutton kofta curry or the Indian meatball curry recipe. One method was what my Ammi used to make. She would make typical Hyderabadi kofta curry. She used to fry the koftas and then add to the gravy. And often served with roti. That was the combination that we were used to. The kofta curry with roti.

But you can always eat it with rice or other forms of Indian bread too. The koftas will hold it’s perfect shape when cooked. Little crisp and brown on the outside and yet it used to be so soft that the moment we press the kofta, it will fall apart. Deliciousness at it’s best.

But, today, I am going to show you another version of the Hyderabadi kofta curry, how I make them ever since being here in Dubai. The mutton mince isn’t fried. We directly make the small round balls with the mutton mince and cook it in the gravy till done. You can refrigerate the mutton mince for some time for making the balls better.

You can make this with mutton mince too. However I have made the Mutton Kofta Curry or the Indian Meatball Curry recipe with boneless mutton pieces.

I like the texture that comes with the mutton pieces. Just remember to make the pieces really small for the proper processing. Otherwise it will become difficult to grind the mutton. You can even make it with beef mutton too.

As Hyderabad is pretty much famous for it’s mutton dishes and my heritage having a great influence on our day to day cooking, you will see a lot of hyderabadi dishes on my blog. Even though now that the Andhra and telangana has been separated, and hyderabad is no longer part of Andhra, still we are so used to using the words, Andhra and Hyderabad so interchangeably, it will take some time to get used to separate the dishes.

    Hi, I followed the recipe but instead of just leaving the balls in the gravy to cook, I fried them. The balls seemed quite hard. So I soaked them in hot water for a few minutes and cooked them in the gravy for more than twenty minutes too. But they are still not tender. Anything I can do to salvage them?

      Oh Dear!! For this Mutton Kofta curry, the meatballs are not meant to be fried. They would definitely turn hard. I hope the hot water must have softened it a little bit. (but i doubt it would, the more you cook, the more it will turn hard, unfortunately 🙁 )
      There is another fried meatball version, that I would post soon.
