Ingredients
You can change the measurement from US to metric at the bottom of this list
- 1 onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- ½ teaspoon ground turmeric

- 1.1 lb ground chicken (chicken mince)
Instructions
- Peel the onion and garlic and place them into the food processor. Whizz on high powder until you have a onion smoosh.
- Add the ground coriander, turmeric, garam masala, curry powder and salt then pulse to combine
- Finally add in the coriander and pulse to just chop.
- Tip the onion mixture into a large bowl and add in the chicken mince.
- Use you hands to mix everything together.
- Use a tablespoon measure to scoop out a ball of mixture and smooth into a ball.
- Repeat until all the mixture has been used.
- To cook, heat a small amount of all in a frying pan and cook the meatballs for 3-4 minutes before turning and cooking for a further 3 minutes.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- This recipe for Indian chicken meatballs also works well with ground turkey.
- As there are no binders in this recipe I wouldn't suggest substituting in ground beef. Ground beef tends to be less sticky than ground chicken and the meatballs don't stay together well. If you want to use beef then I would suggest adding an egg and ½ cup of breadcrumbs to the mixture. (this will stop them being GF and paleo)
