Turkey balls in curry

I received this recipe from a friend and fell in love with the unique taste of the minced turkey meat. It goes very well with chapati, rice, dosa, appam etc.. Minced chicken can be substituted instead of turkey, but its the turkey flavor which makes this recipe stand out.

Ingredients

For the turkey balls
1 packet of minced turkey
1 medium onion, chopped fine
3-4 green chillies, chopped fine
1/2 tsp ginger garlic paste
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
