INDIAN MEATBALL CURRY

Steps:

• Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until well caramelized, about 15 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, and spices and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and scrape any stuck on bits off the bottom of the pan.
• Transfer to a blender and add 1 cup of water, the cream, almond butter, sea salt, and if you're using, the sugar. Blend on high until smooth.
• While the onions are cooking, make the meatballs. Add all the meatball ingredients to a large bowl. Using your hands, mix the meat well. Form into 12 balls, being careful to use a light hand and not to pack the balls tightly.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until well browned all over, about 15 minutes.
• Pour the curry from the blender into the skillet with the meatballs. Bring to a simmer then reduce the meat to medium-low, cover the pan, and cook for 15 minutes. If the curry gets too thick, add a little extra water to the pan to thin it.
• While the curry is simmering, take this time to make some rice or cauliflower rice to serve it with.

Mix through the yogurt, scatter over the coriander and serve with rice or naan bread.

MEATBALL CURRY

Steps:

• For the meatballs: In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, chile, ginger, cilantro and 1 teaspoon salt together using your hands until just combined. (Don't mix any more than this or you'll end up with tough meatballs!) Make 16 balls like this: divide the mixture in half, and then in half again. Take each quarter and divide it into 4 small portions. Roll each portion between your palms until smooth. Set aside and repeat for all 16 meatballs
• For the curry: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the coconut oil until nearly smoking. Add the mustard seeds, covering the pan with a lid so you don't get popping seeds all over you.

CURRIED MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly brush a rimmed baking sheet with oil. Purée scallions, jalapeños, garlic, ginger, lemon juice, garam masala, coriander, cumin, and cayenne in a blender until smooth. Transfer mixture to a large bowl and add beef, egg, yogurt, and salt. Mix with your hands until mixture is homogenous and starts to become very sticky like sausage meat, about 1 minute. Using a 2-oz. ice cream scoop to portion if you like, roll beef mixture into golf ball-size portions and place on baking sheet, spacing 1" apart (you should have about 24). Drizzle meatballs with more oil and bake until browned on top and cooked through, 20-25 minutes.
• Curry Sauce:
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium. Add onions, garlic, and ginger and cook, stirring often, until onions are translucent and starting to brown, 8-10 minutes. Stir in chiles, curry powder, cumin, turmeric, coriander, and peppercorns. Cook, stirring often, until mixture is very fragrant and spices begin to stick to the pot, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, stirring and scraping bottom of pot, and bring to a boil. Add bay leaf, 1 Tbsp. salt, and 2 cups water; return to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until flavors have melded, 25-30 minutes.
