SPICY MUTTON BALLS

 This SPICY MUTTON BALLS is a version of one of my best traditional dishes. Minced meat well blended with spices and fried to perfection is definitely a treat to your mouth. Traditionally served in family events and weddings this recipe is my number one favourite.

Though traditionally done with mutton you can also try it out with MINCED BEEF. Here I have roasted and grounded all the ingredients to make the meat balls. If you have minced mutton or beef along with all powdered spices its much more easier and quicker for you if you want to relish on the bite of this droolicious MUTTON BALLS.
