Ingredients
For the meatballs
- 1 pound ground chicken or turkey
- 1/4 large red onion chopped small
- 1 Jalapeño chopped small
- 1 tablespoon ginger minced or grated
- 1 & 1/2 teaspoons cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons plain greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons cilantro minced
For the sauce:
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 Jalapeno pepper finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 oz can tomato sauce (1 cup)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup cilantro chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat with nonstick spray.
- In a medium bowl, add all the ingredients for the meatballs. Use your hands to mix it until it is just combined—don’t overdo it or the meat will get tough.
- Shape the meat into balls that are a little smaller than a golf ball. (Or any size, really, as long as they are uniform. Adjust baking times if you change the size.)
- Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet. Bake at 400 for 10 minutes, or until they are browned on the bottoms.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce. In a small bowl combine 2 teaspoons cumin, paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, and set aside.
- Melt butter in a medium-sized pot over medium heat. Sauté garlic and jalapeno for 1 minute. Add the bowl of spices and cook for another minute.
- Stir in tomato sauce and cream. Simmer on low heat until sauce thickens, about 20 minutes.
- You can add the cooked meatballs to the sauce, or spoon the sauce over each individual serving. Serve this with naan and jasmine or basmati rice. (About 2 cups of uncooked rice will be enough.)
