Indian Meatballs In Tomato Sauce Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Maples / All my dishes 1 year, 11 months ago This dish is very easy to prepare and the taste is not very Indian. One time I tried to substitute the lamb with chicken. The taste was not as tasty as when I used lamb. The recipe was from an Indian cook book published by Rebo Publisher. Prep:20m Cook:50m Servings:4	Maples

Ingredients

500gr lean ground lamb

5 tbs plain yogurt

2in/ 5cm/ 1tsp fresh root ginger, finely chopped - can use paste ginger

1 green chili, deseeded and finely chopped

3 tbs chopped fresh coriander

2 tsp ground cumin (jinten)

2tsp ground coriander (ketumbar)

1 onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, chopped

1/2 tsp turmeric powder

1 tsp garam masala powder

1 can (400gr) chopped tomatoes

salt and pepper/ black pepper

1 tbs cooking oil

Directions

Combine the lamb, 1 tbs of the yogurt, the ginger, chili, 2 tbs of the chopped coriander, the cumin and ground coriander, and season. Shape the mixture into balls. It gives me 24 meatballs.

Heat the oil in a saucepan. Fry the meatballs in batches for 10 minutes per batch, turning until browned. Drain on the kitchen paper and set aside.

In the same oil, add the onion and garlic and fry for 5 minutes or until soften, stirring occasionally. Mix the turmeric and garam masala with 1 tbs water, then add to the onion and garlic. Add the remaining yogurt, , 1 tbs at a time, stirring well each time.

Add the tomatoes, meatballs and 2/3 cup/ 150ml of water to the mixture and bring to boil. Partly cover the pan and reduce the heat. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle over the rest of the coriander to garnish.

Serve with steamed white rice, just like topped rice =)

Tried this and liked it although the spices were not quite what I had expected. I will have to experiment to get the flavour I had in mind. Not having lamb I used a combination of lean ground beef and ground turkey which kept the fat content down.
