Pudina
Take 100 grams of pudina. Sift out the leaves, wash them and keep in a bowl.
Onions
Chop two onions roughly. The chopping doesn't have to be fine because you will grind the ingredients in a blender anyway.
Garlic Cloves
Take 4 cloves of garlic whole. There is no need to chop the garlic cloves.
Green Chillies
Break the green chillies into halves and put them into the pudina bowl.
Grind Chutney
Place all the ingredients namely, pudina, garlic, onions and green chillies in a blender and grind it into a paste.
Chutney Is Ready
Pour out the chutney into a bowl. Add some salt according to taste and mix it up.
Grate Ghiya
Grate Ghiya and remove extra water (by squeezing) before mixing it with all the ingredients.
Mix Besan
Take a bowl full of besan or gram flour and add to the grated ghiya. The besan will bind the koftas.
Make Dough
Add red chilli powder, garam masala, green chillies, baking soda, coriander leaves and salt to the ghiya. Knead the mixture like a dough.
Make Kofta Ball
Roll the dough into small balls or koftas. Make sure they are tight and not running due to excess water.
Fry Kofta
Heat oil until it steams in a deep bottomed pan. Fry the koftas until they turn golden brown. You need to fry them on a low flame for 5-7 minutes so its well-cooked from inside.
