  • Add the minced mutton and saute till all the water dries up and add the roasted gram.
  • Cool and grind to a thick paste. I prefer grinder rather than mixer to get the authentic taste.
  • Add an egg and mix well.make lemon sized balls and deep fry in low flame till golden in colour. The balls can be had as a starter snack.
  • Finely chop the remaining 2 onions and tomato. Make a smooth paste of 1/2 cup coconut and cashews.
  • In a kadai add oil and saute the onions and tomato and cook till mashed up. Now add all the spice powders and saute till oil oozes out.
  • Add the coconut paste and adequate water. It should be a thin gravy now.adjust the salt and spice levels.
  • Once it starts boiling add the fried kola urundai/meat balls into the gravy and simmer for 15 minutes
  • The meat balls swellup and the gravy thickens. Switch off and garnish with coriander leaves and curry leaves
