Tender meatballs soaked in a creamy coconut sauce with warm curry spices, perfect for family gatherings or a cozy night in.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon coriander
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Rice or flatbread for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, minced ginger, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well integrated. Form the mixture into evenly sized meatballs, about 1-2 inches in diameter.
  2. Heat a drizzle of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches to the skillet, browning them for about 5-7 minutes on all sides until golden. Remove the browned meatballs from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
  3. Pour in the coconut milk and diced tomatoes into the same skillet. Stir in the curry powder, and let the mixture bubble gently for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  4. Return the browned meatballs to the pan, ensuring they are submerged in the flavorful sauce. Cover the skillet and allow them to simmer for 20-25 minutes, letting the meatballs absorb the enticing curry flavors.
  5. Once ready, serve the Kofta Curry Beef Meatballs over jasmine rice or with warm flatbread. Garnish with fresh cilantro.

Notes

Use fresh spices for the best flavor impact. You can substitute ground beef with ground lamb or chicken. For a vegan option, replace the beef with lentils and use coconut cream as a base for the sauce.
