How to make it
- Put the bread in a chopper and chop until fine crumbs.
- Place bread crumbs in a large bowl, add all the ingredients for meatballs, mix well and set aside for at least 2 hours.
- In a saucepan soak tamarind in water and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat, add sugar, salt and red chilli powder. Set aside to cool.
- Roast cumin seeds in a pan, when fragrant add anardana, roast for another 30 seconds. When cool grind to powder ( I use a coffee grinder for this).
- Take out any seeds from the tamarind paste, add to a blender, add cumin/ anardana powder and all the rest of chutney ingredients. Puree until well blended. Take out in a chutney pot. Keep in fridge to cool.
- Heat oil in a pan to about 325 degrees. Form small meatballs about 1-1/2 teaspoonfulls and drop into hot oil. Fry until brown about 6 minutes, I poke them with a fork once just to ensure even cooking.
- Take out onto a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
- Serve hot on a big platter with chutney in the middle for dipping garnished with some cilantro leaves.
