Perfect for a cozy meal, this dish pairs wonderfully with naan bread or steamed rice. Let's dive into the process of creating this mouthwatering curry in your own kitchen.

Ingredients:

1.50 lb lamb mince
680g
1/2 cup coriander leaves
8g
1/3 cup curry paste
72g
1 tbsp ginger root
16g
1 tsp salt
5g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 onion
160g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 can canned tomatoes
400g
2 cups coconut milk
460g
2 bay leafs
1.20g
1 cinnamon stick
3g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Meatballs:
- In a large bowl, combine the lamb mince, chopped coriander leaves, 1 tablespoon of the curry paste, grated ginger root, and salt. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about the size of a walnut, and set aside.
2. Sauté the Aromatics:
- Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until softened and translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Cook the Curry Base:
- Stir in the remaining curry paste and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the spices to bloom.
- Add the canned tomatoes to the pan. Use a wooden spoon to break them down into smaller pieces. Cook for about 5 minutes, letting the sauce thicken slightly.
4. Simmer with Coconut Milk:
- Pour in the coconut milk and add the bay leaves and cinnamon stick.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
5. Cook the Meatballs:
- Carefully drop the prepared meatballs into the simmering curry sauce.
- Gently stir to ensure the meatballs are covered in the sauce.
- Cover the pan with a lid and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the meatballs are completely cooked through, stirring occasionally.
6. Finish and Serve:
- Remove the bay leaves and cinnamon stick from the curry.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Garnish with extra chopped coriander leaves if desired.
- Serve hot with steamed rice, naan bread, or your favorite side dish.

Tips:

- For a smoother texture, finely chop the onion and garlic or use a food processor.

- Adjust the amount of curry paste to your preferred spice level.

- To enhance the flavor, allow the meatballs to marinate in the spices and coriander leaves for 30 minutes before cooking.

- Toast the cinnamon stick and bay leaves in the olive oil for a minute before adding the other ingredients to release more of their flavors.

- Use freshly grated ginger for a more intense and aromatic flavor.

- Let the curry simmer on low heat to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.

- If the curry is too thick, you can dilute it slightly with a bit of water or additional coconut milk.

Congratulations! You've successfully made a delightful Meatball Korma Curry. The blend of spices and creamy coconut milk creates a delicious, comforting meal that is sure to impress your family or guests.
