"Sunday night calls for spicy kofta masala (saucy Indian meatballs)
Prepared in a traditional Karachi style, this is how my mum taught me how to make it. Back in the day, before food processors she would pound the meat in an old steel pot to tenderise it. It then became my job to beat the meat for hours until she was happy that it was soft enough to form perfectly round meatballs! I remember it like yesterday .. I sautéed my own version as shown in a rich gravy sauce. I like to serve mine red hot with a side of rice. Yum ! Hope you're having a lovely relaxed weekend "
