Mutton kofta in green gravy

This curry is something new I tried and it came out to be good. I was quite bored of the usual red curry. Here's the recipe for you to try.

Ingredients

250 gms mutton mince
1/2 inch ginger
3 clove garlic
2 green chillies
1/2 tsp garam masala
10 stems coriander leaves
2 tbsp roasted gram flour
Salt to taste

For green gravy
1 onion chopped and boiled
1 tsp poppy seeds
1 tbsp cashew
3 tbsp hung curd
1/2 inch ginger
4 cloves garlic
2 green chillies
15 stems coriander leaves
1/2 star aniseed
1/2 inch cinnamon
1/2 tsp shahijeera
2 cloves
1/2 mace
Salt  to taste
2 tbsp oil/ ghee

Method

Grind the ginger,green chillies, garlic and coriander. Include it in the mutton mince. Add salt and garam masala along with gram flour and make small roundels. Keep in fridge for half n hour minimum.

Let's prepare the gravy.
Boil onion and poppy seed along with cashew. Add hung curd  and ginger garlic and chillies with corainder leaves  grind all in the mixer. Keep it aside.
Dry roast the  whole garam masala. Grind the same.
Take ghee, I prefer ghee in some dishes as I feel it enhances the flavour. Add the onion paste. Fry till ghee comes on top. A nonstick pan will be great for saute.
Add garam masala. Sauté well.
Include 1/2 cup water. When it boils drop the meat balls.
Cook covered for 15 min on low heat. Check if the meat balls are done. Cook uncovered for 5 min. Garnish with chopped mint. Serve hot.

Home made pizza from scratch

Pizza is one favourite recipe in my house. Kids and grown ups love it alike. I make pizza from scratch as I feel it's always much better then ordering it from outside. Here's the recipe for try.

Ingredients
For pizza base
2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp active yeast
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt

For Sauce

4 ripe red tomatoes
1 onion
5-6 cloves garlic
1 tsp red chilli flakes
1 tsp sugar
Salt to taste
1 tsp mixed herbs
2 tbsp olive oil

For topping
Capsicum, chicken mince or mutton mince, mushrooms and mozzarella cheese

Method
Let's begin with making the pizza base. Take flour in a broad vessel. Add yeast, and salt. Mix sugar in hot water and stir until dissolved. Add the water and knead the dough. Apply oil and keep it aside for an hour or two, depending upon room temperature.  Knead it again and roll it into the size of chapati.  A bit thicker, if you like pan pizza. Keep it to rise for half an hour.
Meanwhile make the sauce. Blanch the tomatoes in hot water. Take the skin out and chop them finely.
Chop onion and garlic. Sauté in 2 tbsp olive oil till translucent. Add the tomatoes and herbs and spices. Let it cook for 15 min or so..add little water if necessary.
Preheat the oven to 180 degree. Arrange the pizza base and bake it for 10 min. Remove. Add sauce and toppings and sprinkle mixed herb on top and bake it cheese melts.
Serve piping hot. That's how we like it😊
