Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, and egg. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Using your hands, form the mixture into small meatballs, about the size of a tablespoon each. You should get approximately 20-24 meatballs, depending on the size.
- Heat a large, deep skillet or saucepan over medium-high heat. If necessary, add a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.
- Add the meatballs to the skillet in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Brown the meatballs on all sides, turning occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes. Remove the meatballs from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the curry paste. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
- Gradually add the coconut milk to the skillet, stirring constantly to combine with the curry paste. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Add the green beans to the skillet with the coconut milk and curry mixture. Simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the green beans are tender but still crisp.
- Return the browned meatballs to the skillet. Stir gently to coat the meatballs with the curry sauce.
- Simmer the meatballs in the sauce for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the meatballs are fully cooked through and the flavors have melded together. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Stir in the chopped coriander leaves into the curry just before serving.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed (e.g., salt or additional spices).
- Spoon the meatball curry over a bed of rice or alongside naan bread. Garnish with extra coriander leaves if desired.
- Enjoy your flavorful, homemade meatball curry!
Tips:
- For juicier meatballs, you can use a mix of pork and beef instead of just ground beef.
- If you like your curry extra spicy, feel free to add some fresh chopped chilies or an extra tablespoon of curry paste.
- Toast the bread crumbs slightly before mixing them with the meat to give the meatballs a better texture.
- To ensure even cooking, make uniform-sized meatballs using an ice cream scoop or tablespoon.
- Fresh coriander leaves can be swapped with parsley if you’re not a fan of coriander.
- Simmer the curry on a low flame to develop deeper flavors.
- Add vegetables like bell peppers, peas, or potatoes to make the curry more substantial.
There you have it – a mouthwatering meatball curry that’s not only easy to prepare but also incredibly satisfying. This dish brings together the best of both worlds with tender meatballs and a rich, flavorful curry sauce. Serve it over rice, with naan bread, or just enjoy it as is.
