Chicken Kofta meat balls, with potatoes

  Ingredients:

For the kufta:

Minced chicken

3 medium tomatoes

Parsley

½ medium green pepper

1 large onion

Handful of oats

Spices, around a ½ teaspoon of the following ground spices: black pepper, cinnamon, cardamom, turmeric, cumin, garam masala, paprika, red chilli, salt

2 medium potatoes

    For the curry:

1 large onion

2 medium potatoes

Spices: turmeric and salt

2 tablespoons of oats

1 garlic clove

olives

  Place the minced chicken in a large bowl

In a mini chopper, chop the following separately: onions , parsley, green pepper and tomatoes until they are fine  (If you do not have a mini chopper, just cut the vegetables very very very finely).

Place on the minced chicken and add the salt, spices, handful of oats and mix together well.

Cover with a clear film, and leave for a couple of hours.

  In a tefal (non stick) pan, put some vegetable oil in the pan and leave on low to medium heat.

Shape the minced chicken into balls, and add into the tefal pan.

Let it go golden on each side, then place the chicken in a plate.

  Meanwhile, finely chop the onion. Peel the potatoes and cube into medium pieces.

In the same non stick tefal pan, add some more oil if needed. Then add the onions, chopped garlic and potatoes, and stir on medium heat. This will take roughly 5 to 10 minutes, until slightly brown. Add the turmeric and some salt, then add water to cover and add 2 tablepsoons of oats (this will give it some thickeness). Put the lid on and leave to cook on low heat for around 12 minutes.

Then add the chicken kufta, and leave to cook further for another 10 to 15 minutes, until the kufta and potoates are cooked.

You may need to add more water throughout, depending on how much curry/stew you want.

  Place it all in a pyrex/oven tray, add some olives, and put in the grill for around 5 to 10 minutes.
