👨🍳 निर्देश
- 1
To make the meatballs, combine the ground meat, finely chopped onion, rinsed rice, egg, chopped coriander, cumin, cinnamon, black pepper, and salt in a bowl. Mix well and form into small, uniform meatballs.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Ensure the rice is well-rinsed to prevent the meatballs from becoming too starchy. - 2
In a large pot, sauté the sliced onion in butter or oil until softened and lightly golden.

Add the tomato paste to the pot and cook for another minute, stirring constantly. Pour in the water or broth, add the bay leaf, and bring to a boil.

Carefully drop the meatballs into the boiling broth. Add the cubed potatoes. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until the meatballs are cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Skim off any foam that rises to the surface during the initial boiling. - 5
Season the soup with salt to taste. Remove the bay leaf before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Bozbashi is best served hot.
