   MMMMM----------------------------SOUP---------------------------------   
     1 1/2 tb Oil   
       1/4 c  Onion paste *   
         1 tb Ginger & garlic paste **   
         1    Cinnamon stick (1")   
         1 sm Tejpatta (Indian bay leaf)   
         2    Cloves   
       1/2 ts Black peppercorns   
         1 ts Coriander seeds   
       1/4 ts Cumin seeds   
       3/4 ts Kashmiri mirch powder or   
              - paprika;   
              - adjust to tolerance   
         2 md Roma tomatoes;   
              - pureed in a blender   
         3 tb Thick dahi (plain yogurt)   
     3 1/2 c  Water; up to 4 c   
              Salt; to taste   
      
   MMMMM--------------------------GARNISH-------------------------------   
              Fresh cilantro leaves   
              Fresh lemon juice   
              - (optional)   
       
     * I add roughly chopped red onion to blender & make a smooth paste   
     adding little or no water.   
        
     * I use microplane to quickly mince 2 to 3 cl garlic & fresh, peeled   
     shoots of ginger.   
        
     In a bowl, place all the ingredients for the meatballs. Using your   
     fingers, lightly combine everything. Spread some oil on your palms   
     and pinch balls of the mixture and line them on a plate. Cover with a   
     cling film and refrigerate until ready to use.   
        
     Using a mortar & pestle or coffee grinder, coarsely grind black   
     peppercorns, cloves, coriander seeds, and cumin seeds. Set aside. In a   
     wide-mouthed, pot (pot should be large enough so that all the   
     meatballs can be placed in a single layer), on medium, heat oil to   
     smoking point. Temper the oil with cinnamon stick & tejpatta. Wait   
     for 10 seconds. Add the onion, garlic-ginger paste next, reduce heat   
     to low, fry until you see it getting thick and changing color until   
     the raw smell is gone, about 5 to 7 minutes.   
        
     Next, continuing on the low heat add the ground spices along with   
     tomato puree, dahi, and salt. Mix everything and fry for another 8 to   
     10 minutes or until you see oil separating on the sides of the pot.   
     Add water next and on medium heat, check the seasoning and bring the   
     broth to a boil.   
        
     Once boiling, reduce heat to low again and add the refrigerated   
     meatballs into the simmering broth one by one. Cover the pot and let   
     cook for 10 to 12 minutes.   
        
     Note:   
        
     I like meatballs cooked through and hence the cooking time. You will   
     need to adjust the time depending on how rare you like your meatballs   
     or the tupe of mince meat used. To check whether the meatballs have   
     cooked to your liking, after 5 to 7 minutes of simmering in the   
     broth, using a fork take out one ball and cut into half. You will be   
     able to decide on extra cooking time depending on how pink it is on   
     the inside.   
        
     Once done let sit covered for at least 1-1/2 to 2 hours, undisturbed.   
     Whenever ready to eat, reheat on low, discard the tejpatta & cinnamon   
     stick, garnish with cilantro, squirt of fresh lemon juice, and serve.
