Looking for MeatBalls recipes.....

Hi Here is recipe for Meatballs Curry, cooked in Indian style: Ingredients: 1 kg minced meat 5 onions chopped very fine 2 tbsps garlic paste 1 tbsp ginger paste 2 tbsps garam masala (for the Koftas) 3 tbsps tomato ketchup 1/2 cup coriander leaves chopped fine Salt to taste 3 tbsps vegetable/canola/sunflower cooking oil 1 tbsp ginger paste 2 tbsps garlic paste 2 tsps coriander powder 1 tsp cumin powder 1/2 tsp turmeric powder 1 tsp chilli powder 1 tsp hot spice mix (for the gravy) 4 large tomatoes cubed Preparation: 1.Put the minced meat, 2 of the chopped onions, 2 tbsps garlic paste, 1 tbsp ginger paste, 2 tbsps garam masala, tomato ketchup and coriander leaves in a large bowl and mix well. 2.Form the mixture into equal sized balls and keep on a plate. Heat the oil in a pan and add the remaining onions. Fry till they are light brown then add the ginger and garlic pastes. Fry for a minute. 3.Add all the powdered spices - coriander, cumin, red chilli powder, 1 tsp Hot spice mix (garam masala), turmeric - and fry for 2-3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and mix well. Fry the masala till the oil begins to separate from it. 4.Add 2 cups of warm water to the masala and season with salt to taste. Gently add the meatballs now. Do not stir for at least the next 5 minutes. Stir gently so as not to break the meatballs. 5.Cook uncovered till the meatballs are done. The gravy can be as thick as you like so add or dry up the water as required.

Well, it obviously depends on what you like. But I use: some breadcrumbs, an egg, some fresh basil, and sometimes so fresh oregano too, some salt, pepper and olive oil. And I have heard that adding some feta cheese makes these meatballs (called Greek meatballs) even better, but I have never tried that.

I make my mwatballs with a half diced fried onion, salt and pepper, lots of fresh parsil leaves cut up as small as I can, an egg and enough bread crumbs as to stick all this together. The onion and the parsley give them a special twist.
