MINCED MEAT
KOTHU KARI MASALA/ MINCED MEAT MASALA


      Minced Meat is a fantastically versatile ingredient.  We can combine it to cook up a variety of dishes right from Simple Minced Meat Stir Fry, Meat Croquettes/Cutlets, Meat Balls, Kola Urundai Fry/Curry, Kheema Fry/Masala, Kebabs, Meatball Lasagna, Meat Ball Soup, Minced Meat Pulao/Biriyani. Minced Meat Pie, Patties for Burgers, toppings for Pizza or even prepare Minced Meat Stews and use it as a filling for various dishes, out of it.
     Though I make different versions of the same Kothukari Masala at home, I love the combination my SIL- Neema makes with Cabbage and Green Peas.  When Green Peas are in season this dish come into limelight. We can use Minced Mutton/Chicken/Beef in the recipe. Freshly minced meat or frozen ones, both suits well for the recipe. This Kothukari Masala is a simple yet delicious side dish which goes along with both Roti & Rice.
