  3. Remove the blended lamb mince in a bowl. Add the egg, chopped coriander, chopped garlic and the maida.
  4. Mix well
  5. Shape into medium sized balls
  6. Deep fry in hot oil until crisp ( Not too crisp n hard )

Ballar aur Murghi ka Korma

  Ballar ki phalli or Hyacinth beans ( Avarre Kallu in Kannada) is a much loved vegetable in the South. The winter brings in tons of fresh beans in the market and every kitchen in the neighbor hood is over zealously busy preparing the tastiest dishes with it. The beans are very versatile and bursting with flavor. They are added in vegetarian as well as with meat and chicken dishes. One of my favourite dish is the ballar aur murgi ka korma ( Chicken and bean Korma). The beans add a very subtle but very unique flavor to the curry and coupled with the spicy curried chicken, the taste is out of this world.     Ingredients   Chicken - 500 gms, Curry cut Ballar ki Phalli ( Shelled) - 1 cup Coconut paste - 1/2 cup Onions - 2 large, ground into a fine paste with 4-5 cloves and 2 cardamom pods                1 small onion -  finely Sliced Tomato - 2-3 medium sized, ground Ginger-garlic paste - 2 tsp, fresh ground Curd - 1/4 cup Red chilli powder - 2 tsp Coriander

Bhaji ka char is a tangy, spicy curry made from seasonal greens and dals. It is a very rustic recipe commonly prepared in Muslim households in Mysore and surrounding areas. For me this is a very special dish as this is simple, delicious and highly nutritious. In our house the expert in making bhaji ka char is my aunt, Afza aunty. Come monsoon or winter, whenever there was a sharp chill in the weather my request to Afza aunty was “ Aaj bhaji ka char banao”. My aunty used to happily oblige as this is her favourite too. The recipe is totally borrowed from her and reproduced below.Thank you Afza aunty for the recipe and the beautiful memories. Before we get to the actual details, there are few points to note. The bhaji or greens used in the char are either chaulai or chudi ki bhaji or dant  ( all called as amaranth leaves in English) or munge ki bhaji ( moringa leaves) or you can mix chaulai, dant and dill leaves ( Sui ki bhaji) in equal proportions. Palak, methi or other green lea
