Meatball Curry

First things first - here is the recipe for this awesome curry Meatball Curry.

I got the recipe from Vazhayila.com which is growing to become one of my favorite sites for getting recipes and also to get inspired about food photography. But I never end up taking such nice pictures, cos as soon as I finish cooking I want to dig in.

I made the meat balls with ground lamb. If you are a lamb lover you will love this dish. If you are not a lamb lover, you will still love this dish :). I made this curry for Idiyappam and Chappathi and it worked for both. When you make it for Chappathi, add a little bit more oil and less water / coconut milk so that it comes out like a gravy. While making it for idiyappam, lesser oil and more water and coconut milk to make it thinner (like stew consistency). The meatballs made me realize how much flavor could be imparted by a simple thing as adding just a couple of chopped garlic and green chillies; and slow cooking in coconut milk makes the meat balls perfect.

If you are a non-vegetarian, this is a must try. If you are a vegetarian, its high time you change cos you are missing this awesome dish.
