These Mutton Meatballs have seen sitting in my draft folder for a few weeks already. And I can't remember the recipe😝
Well, actually I can but just agak-agak. It's very basic after all. Just minced mutton, mashed potatoes, minced onions, grated carrots, salt, pepper, cumin, turmeric and an egg.
Strictly for mutton lovers because of the gamey smell in spite of the spices. Maybe I put too little. Or I should have added ginger. I can experiment some more next time.
These mutton meatballs were deep fried and I thought they were very good. Don't attempt baking them because I did and threw out the whole lot. Not good.
Recipe source : Phong Hong
Ingredients :
- 300g minced mutton
- 1 big onion minced
- 5 smallish chat potatoes, steamed and mashed
- 1 small carrot, grated
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp cumin powder
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt or to taste
Method :
1. Mixed all the ingredients together until mixture becomes gluey.
2. Form into balls and deep fry until cooked and golden brown.
Ooooooo I like to eat gamey mutton. no, no, no, don't put ginger in it because the ginger taste would overpower the taste of tumeric and cumin.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, I am not too keen on ginger in these meatballs.
DeleteI love them too! Oh? Use potatoes to hold them together, eh? Gotta try that. I used bread crumbs but of course, that's taboo now - not gluten-free. Will try this soon.
ReplyDeleteYes, the potatoes hold them very well. No need to add flour.
DeleteI seldom cook mutton at home so I will substitute it with pork and hope it will also taste good.
ReplyDeleteIt works just as well for pork and I believe you will like it.
