Karai Bhuna koftas (meatballs)

Try this dish with Brown Brothers Chenin Blanc, which has a touch of sweetness that tempers the heat of a spicy dish like this. The soft, tropical fruit characters of the wine fully complement the rich tomato spices in this dish.

What you need:

• 500g minced beef, lamb or chicken
• 1 finely chopped onion
• 1 garlic clove chopped
• 3-4 tablespoons Geeta's Lime & Chilli
• Chutney, finely chopped plus extra to serve
• Salt to taste
• 1 tablespoon chopped coriander
• 2 x 350g Geeta's Karai Bhuna Spice & Stir cooking sauce.

What you do:

1. Add the chopped onions, garlic, chopped coriander and lime & chilli chutney to the minced beef, lamb or chicken.
   
2. Mix thoroughly and mould the mixture into equal sized meatballs (koftas).
   
3. Place on a baking tray and cook in a pre-heated oven 170C for approximately 10-12 mins.
   
4. Meanwhile, heat two jars of Geeta's Karai Bhuna Spice & Stir cooking sauce in a large saucepan and add the spice mixture from the spice caps and mix well.
   
5. Add the meatballs (koftas) and cook gently for at least 10 mins until meat is cooked and allowing the flavour of the sauce to penetrate the meat.
   
6. Serve in bowls on top of freshly steamed Basmati rice or naan bread and enjoy with a chilled glass of Brown Brothers Chenin Blanc, best served young and vibrant.

Handy tip:

Delicious topped with Geeta's chutneys or pickles of your choice. The vegetarian alternative is to use minced soya.
