Tepsi Baytinjan#EattheWorld

Tepsi Baytinjan, a very popular Iraqi casserole dish, usually served with rice. The main ingredient of the dish is aubergine/brinjal/eggplant (baytinjan translated means aubergine/brinjal/eggplant). Similar to moussaka, the dish consists of layers of vegetables and meat, covered in a sauce and baked.
Join us in Eat the World..as we celebrate Christmas - Secret Santa party, wherein we are asked to make a recipe of that blog of any recipe post with #EattheWorld. 
I am given Wendy of A Day in the Life on the Farm and I have chosen Tepsi Baytinjan. 
Check the above link for the original recipe.  I have made just two minor changes in the recipe- added curry powder to the meatballs and other is that I rolled the meatballs in the eggplant slice. I took a small size dish -6" square dish it was small for the quantity, while baking the sauce spilled over so take a 7" dish for baking for this much quantity. You can used lamb or mutton mince to make this dish.
Serves 3 - 4
Ingredients
1 Medium Eggplant- sliced into thin slices
1 Medium Onion - sliced
2 Medium Tomatoes - sliced
3 + 3 Cloves Garlic - minced
250 Grams Beef mince
1/2 Teaspoon Curry Powder
1 Medium Potato - sliced into roundles
Olive oil as required
Salt & Black pepper - to taste
250 Ml Tomato Sauce 
Method
Grease a 7 inch deep baking dish and set aside. 
Heat about 2 Tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over med high heat. Season the eggplant with salt and pepper. Brown on both sides in the skillet.
Season the potato slices with salt and pepper and brown in the same skillet on each side until golden but not necessarily cooked through.
Place the onion into the skillet and cook until softened and browned. Layer over the potatoes. Layer the tomato slices over the top.
Mix the remaining garlic, curry powder, salt and pepper into the minced beef. Form into meatballs 1-2" oval shaped. Add more oil to the same skillet and brown the meatballs all over.
Lay a eggplant slice and place a meatball in it. 
Roll it until the meatball is covered.
Combine half of the garlic with the tomato sauce and pour over the casserole.
Pour the sauce over it and garnish with parsley.
Baked it in a preheated at 180°C, for about 35-45 minutes.
Serve over steamed rice.

Green Gram & Chicken Meatball Clear Soup#SoupSwappers

This Meatball Soup is a hearty, filling. This is a single serving soup. For Soup Swappers this month I am the host and the theme is "Make A Soup With Meatballs".
For this soup I have added fresh green gram which is easily available in this season. 
 I, buy the ones that and covered like pea pods, which we have to clean(see pic).
Single serving 
Ingredients
For the Meatballs

150 Grams Chicken Mince
1 Small Onion - finely chopped
1 Red Chilly - finely chopped
1 Tablespoon Black pepper powder
1 Slice Bread - make into crumbs
Salt to taste
For the soup
500 Ml Water
1 Small Chicken Stock Cube
Salt And Black pepper to taste
1 Tablespoon Tomato -finely chopped
1 Tablespoon Onion - finely chopped
1 Tablespoon Green 
Bell Pepper
1 Tablespoon Red Bell Pepper
1/4 Cup Sweet Corn - boiled
1/4 Cup Fresh Green Gram - boiled
1 Teaspoon Oil

Method
To make the meatballs

Mix all the ingredients well. Make small meatballs and keep aside.

For the soup

Heat oil in a large sauce pan, add the onion and saute till they are translucent and soft. Add rest of the veggies and saute for a minute add the chicken stock cube and water bring it to a rolling boil. When it starts to boil add the meatballs and after a minute reduce the flame to medium low. 
Cover with a lid and let it simmer for 8 to 10 minutes or till meatballs cook and will double in size, will turn pink to white and start to float. 
It's so satisfying soup and delicious! It' makes a complete a meal if you have it with bread sticks for a buttered dinner roll.
