• From the Family Recipe Box, in Grandpa's typewriting, attributed to Eva Schopf, and dated Feb. 1970.
• Note from Julie: I don't believe that Lawry's makes French dressing mix anymore, so here is a mixture you can use, instead: 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tsp dry mustard, 1/8 tsp onion powder, 1 1/2 tsp paprika, and 1 1/2 tsp salt.

SPICY CHICKEN CURRY MEATBALLS

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil and coat with cooking spray.
• Mix ground chicken, bread crumbs, olive oil, onion, ginger paste, garlic, curry powder, salt, and pepper together in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Roll mixture into thirty 1-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions, garlic, and ginger paste; saute until onions become soft, about 5 minutes. Add sugar, garam masala, cumin, ginger, curry powder, cinnamon, chicken bouillon, paprika, cayenne, turmeric, onion powder, and salt; stir to combine. Stir in tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, heavy cream, and water. Cook until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Add butter and stir to melt.
