CURRY CHICKEN MEATBALLS

Curry Chicken Meatballs image

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.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1 red onion, quartered
2 teaspoons olive oil, plus extra for the onion
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 cup cilantro leaves, finely chopped, plus more for serving
1 large egg
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 jalapeno, finely chopped
Zest of 1 lime
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound ground chicken
Cooked white rice, for serving

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Toss the onion and enough olive oil to coat together on a small sheet pan and roast in the oven until browned and soft, 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the panko, cilantro, egg, garlic, jalapeno, lime zest, cumin, curry powder, salt and pepper. Mix well. Add the chicken and combine all the ingredients until everything is well mixed.
Form the meatballs with a #50 (.68-ounce) ice-cream scoop or by heaping tablespoons and place on a sheet pan. Round the meatballs gently by hand.
Heat the 2 teaspoons oil in a large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and reduce the heat to medium. Cook until just browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the meatballs are cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes.
Serve the meatballs over rice with the roasted onion and more cilantro leaves.

Ingredients

500g minced chicken , turkey, lamb, beef or pork
1 medium onion
2 garlic cloves , crushed or chopped
2 tsp mild or medium curry powder
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp garam masala
½ tsp paprika or cayenne pepper
2 tbsp fresh coriander , chopped
1 egg , beaten
50g fresh breadcrumb
1 tbsp olive oil

Steps:

Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4.
Put the mince into the mixing bowl. Add the onions, garlic, curry powder, cumin, garam masala, paprika or cayenne pepper and coriander, then mix well. By adding these spices, you'll get a delicious flavour without having to add any salt.
Add the beaten egg and breadcrumbs, then mix again.
Divide the meat mixture into 15-18 evensized pieces and shape into balls (they should be about the size of a walnut). Always wash your hands thoroughly after handling raw meat so you don't transfer any germs that may be on the meat to other food or equipment.
Heat the oil in the frying pan over a medium heat and add the meatballs using a spoon. Cook them for 5 mins, turning until golden brown. Remove from the pan and place them on to the tray. Bake in the oven for 15-20 mins.
Remove from the oven. Remember to use oven gloves! Allow to cool slightly and serve with a fresh, crisp green salad, some pitta bread and tomato salsa.

The curry sauce can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, simply reheat the sauce and add the meatballs.
Serve the meatballs with rice, naan bread, or your favorite sides.
