  • MEATBALLS
  • In a large bowl, mix together the ground meat, garlic, onion, spices, chillies, ginger, egg yolk, fresh coriander and season with salt and pepper;
  • If necessary, slowly mix in some breadcrumbs into mixture to achieve desired consistency;
  • Form into balls, coat evenly all over in the bread crumbs, and arrange on a shallow tray;
  • Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6;
  • Place the meatballs into a large roasting tin, drizzle over the oil and stir gently to coat;
  • Bake for some 20 minutes or so, or until the meatballs are golden-brown;
  • Turn every so often to ensure even cooking and browning;
  • Set aside on kitchen towel.CURRY SAUCE
  • Put onion, ginger, and garlic into blender or food processor and “blitz”;
  • Mix the paprika, coriander, garam masala, cumin, turmeric, chilli powder and salt together in a small dish to form a flavour enhancing spice mixture;
  • Heat the oil in a large pan/frying pan over a low medium heat;
  • Add onion/ginger mixture and chillies, and, stirring frequently, cook on a low heat for some 2 to 3 minutes or so;
  • Add spice mixture and cook gently, stirring continuously, for some 1 to 1½ minutes or so until all well combined;
  • Add the yogurt, lemon juice and crushed tomato, increase heat to high and, stirring continuously, bring to boil;
  • Reduce heat and continue to cook gently, ensuring everything mixed well together;
  • Simmer for some 15 minutes or so and sauce reduced and thickened a bit;
  • Add the meatballs and most of the coriander - reserve some for garnish - stir well, and, stirring occasionally, simmer for a further 10 to 12 minutes or so until everything cooked through and the sauce thickened to consistency required;
  • Serve, garnished with remaining coriander
