Curried Lamb Meatballs

Recipe #165146 | 35 min | 15 min prep | add private note

I have been trying to duplicate a dish from my favorite Indian restaurant in Tucson, AZ. This is not it, close but not yet. It is, however, extremely tasty!

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Salt and pepper the lamb, then mix and form into little balls.
  2. 2
    Heat the olive oil in a skillet and start browning the meatballs.
  3. 3
    Slice the peppers and onion thinly and add to the browning meatballs. Shake the pan or stir every so often to brown the meatballs all over.
  4. 4
    When the meatballs are brown and the peppers and onions have softened slightly, add the butter and curry powder. Stir again and add the tomato sauce.
  5. 5
    Stir again and cover with a lid, simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.
  6. 6
    Remove lid, stir in the spinach and cilantro and simmer 5 minutes.
  7. 7
    Serve with steamed basmati rice.

Very tasty! The tomato sauce overpowered the curry quite a bit but it was still an excellent meal! I served with "Chickpea Curry (Garbanzos)" for a fantastic meal. Thanks DesertChef!

    I had a roll of ground lamb meat I wanted to do something new with & found your recipe. I followed the recipe till the meatballs & veggies were ready for step 4 (also added some cubed zucchini). My DH & I are not esp fond of tomato-based curries, so I transferred the meatball/veggie mix to a serving dish, deglazed the pan w/cream, added the curry powder & spinach, simmered till nicely thickened & poured the sauce over the meatball/veggie mix. My DH said "Þetta er mjög gott!" (This is very good!) Thx.

    Delicious! Very flavorful and nicely-spicy, not too spicy at all. Served over rice. Also good the next day for leftovers.

    Fabulous! This has such great flavor. Very easy to make. I added the veggies a little too soon. Will probably brown the meatballs a little longer next time. I made the meatballs very small and the whole dish was just wonderful. Served with couscous for a great meal. Thanks for the recipe!
