CURRY CHICKEN MEATBALLS
My favorite Indian takeout dish is chicken curry, so I was inspired to take some of its flavors and mix them into another of my go-to dishes, meatballs. I use ground chicken, cilantro, cumin and curry powder, plus a touch of lime zest and some jalapeno for heat. The recipe makes plenty of meatballs, so if you're lucky you'll have some leftover for a lunch the next day.
