Step by Step guide

Step 1

Heat the oil in a large skillet. Sauté the finely chopped onion for 5 minutes until golden. Add the minced garlic, garam masala, and chili. Cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Transfer half of the mixture to a bowl and let it cool.

Step 2

Add the tomatoes and tomato paste to the skillet, mixing well. Simmer for 5 minutes, then add the broth and coconut milk. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat, cover, and let sit for a while.

Step 3

To the cooled onion mixture, add the ground meat, chopped herbs, and lightly beaten egg. Mix well with your hands and shape into 28 balls, about the size of a walnut. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step 4

Bring the tomato sauce to a boil. Place the meatballs in the sauce, cover, and simmer on low heat for 1 hour, until the sauce thickens, stirring gently during cooking. Add lime juice. Before serving, sprinkle with chopped mint and serve with cooked rice.
