MUTTON KOLA URUNDAI / MUTTON KEEMA BALLS

Mutton Kola Urundai /Mutton Kheema Balls are the popular Chettinad recipe in South India (Tamil Nadu). Without adding this recipe to my blog non-veg -Chettinad the recipe won’t get fulfilled.

The origin of kola balls is Thanjavur. At first, kola balls are made with raw banana, Later, mutton is substituted instead of raw banana for the first time in Madurai Chandran mess. It is a popular mutton starter recipe in south India of Tamilnadu. Kids and adults love this recipe alike. Its inner soft and outer crispy layer recipe. Grounded masala along with meat gives you a flawless aroma. 

 It is easy to make at home with few ingredients, and delicious to have. You can have this Mutton kola Urundai as a starter or with any veg or Non-veg meals, you can have it with plain steamed rice with any veg curry or nonveg curry or plain rice and rasam go well with it.
