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:
Instructions:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Pour in the coconut milk and add the bay leaves and cinnamon stick.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
- 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.
- 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.
