Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 °C and lightly brush a rimmed baking sheet with oil.
- For the meatballs, purée the spring onions, jalapeños, garlic, ginger, lemon juice and garam masala in a blender until smooth.
- Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and add the mince, egg, yoghurt and salt.
- Mix everything until well blended.
- Divide the mince mixture into golf ball– sized portions and place them on the baking sheet.
- Drizzle with oil and bake for 15 – 20 minutes until browned and cooked through.
- For the curry sauce, heat the oil in a large heavy-based pot over a medium heat.
- Add the onions, garlic and ginger and cook for about 8 – 10 minutes, stirring often.
- Add all the spices and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring often.
- Add the tomatoes, stirring and scraping the residue off the bottom of the pot, and bring to a boil.
- Add the salt and 2 cups of water, bring to a boil again, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 25 – 30 minutes until the flavours have infused.
- Allow to cool, then transfer to a blender and blend until smooth. Place the sauce back in the pot and add the lemon juice and cayenne pepper.
