- 1 tbsp Onion powder
- ½ tsp Garlic powder grated
- ½ tsp Ginger powder grated
- ½ tsp Garam masala
- 1 tsp Curry powder
- ½ cup Breadcrumbs

Coconut gravy
- ½ cup Onions chopped finely

- 1 tbsp Ginger grated
- 2 tbsp Tomato paste

- ½ cup (120 ml) Coconut cream
- 4 Curry leaves
- ½ tsp Garam masala
- 2 Bay leaves
- 1 cup (240 ml) Chicken broth
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 2 tbsp Cooking oil

- ¼ cup Cilantro chopped
Instructions
Meatballs
- Add all the meatball ingredients to a bowl and mix well to combine.
- Shape the mixture into small golf-sized balls and set aside.
Coconut gravy
- In a pan or cast-iron skillet, saute onions in oil until translucent. Add ginger and garlic. Cook for another 30 seconds.
- Add the tomato paste, followed by the curry powder. Saute for another 2 minutes, adding the coconut cream in two batches to prevent the spices from burning.
- Next, add the curry leaves, bay leaves, and garam masala, and season with salt and pepper. Then, add the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
- Once the curry comes to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer and gently drop the meatballs one at a time.
- Cover the pot and let it simmer on medium-low for about 10 minutes. Open the pan and stir the meatballs so they are flipped over to the other side. Cover and cook another 10 minutes on medium-low heat.
- Finally, add the lemon juice and cilantro. Taste and adjust seasoning. Garnish with more freshly chopped cilantro.
- Enjoy!
