Curried Meatballs image

I was given this recipe by a co-worker of mine who grew up in South Africa. It is from "Everyday Cape Malay Cooking" by Zainab Legardien. I have modified the recipe to either be more in line with our tastes or to use ingredients that I can get at my local grocery store. You can serve this with rice, spinach or by itself.

These meatballs were a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add more liquid next time, maybe some broth or water.

I've made these meatballs several times now and they're always a hit! They're so easy to make and they taste amazing. I usually serve them with rice and vegetables.

These meatballs were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I would recommend using less curry powder if you don't like spicy food.

These meatballs were easy to make and tasted great. I used ground chicken instead of beef, and they were still very flavorful.

I'm not a big fan of curry, but these meatballs were still really good. The curry flavor was subtle and not overpowering.

These meatballs were a hit at my dinner party! The curry flavor was perfect, and the meatballs were so moist and tender. I will definitely be making these again.
