Garam masala meatballs. In high school, I went to visit my family in India every summer. One of my fondest memories of those visits was a small barbecue that my cousins would throw as a going away party for when I would inevitably have to leave. We always had a variety of meat dishes, but my favorite dish was always.

We use a similar sauce in our vegetarian cauliflower tikka masala and it's seriously amazing. The spice mix is a combination of cumin, coriander, cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, fennel, mace, and dried chilis. The meatballs are flavored with lots of fresh ginger, garlic, cilantro and one of my favorite Indian spices, garam masala. You can cook Garam masala meatballs using 7 ingredients and 5 steps. Here is how you cook that.

You need 1 pack of extra-lean ground chicken.
It's 2 of large carrots, grated.
It's 1/2 cup of cilantro leafs, finely chopped.
You need 2 teaspoon of garam masala powder.
You need 1 teaspoon of dehydrated minced garlic.

It's to taste of fresh ground black pepper.

If you've never used garam masala it's a fragrant blend of warm spices that generally includes, cumin, coriander, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg and black pepper. I had intended to freeze the extras, but they were so good, we had it again the next night! The only change I made was to add extra cayenne and garam masala to the sauce, as we like it hot. These easy Indian-style ground beef meatballs with masala sauce make a quick and easy meal.

Though beef isn't traditionally used in Indian cooking, spices like garam masala and turmeric actually pair very well with some simple ground beef. Add the canned tomatoes, chicken broth, honey, and garam masala. Reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered with a lid, for ½ hour or until you are ready to add the meatballs. Combine the matzah meal, mint, garlic, and spices in a small food processor workbowl, and pulse the machine on and off until a coarse paste is. Shape into meatballs about the size of a golf ball.
