A great appetizer with minced meat / Mutton Keema. These fried meat balls are soft, juicy, mildly spiced. You can serve it with ketch up or Sweet Chilli Sauce. We had it as evening snack with tea.
You can use minced chicken instead of mutton and proceed with the recipe with the same quantity of ingredients. Also, I have used powdered fried gram (udaitha kadai or pottukadai in Tamil) as binding agent You can use corn flour or one egg instead of fried gram powder
