Instructions
- In a large bowl, use your hands to combine all of the meatball ingredients minus the oil until incorporated. Shape into golf ball sized meatballs.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, swirl to coat the bottom. Sear the meatballs (in batches if necessary) for 6-8 minutes turning them over halfway through the cooking time. Transfer to a plate. They don't need to be fully cooked, just browned.
- Add the butter or coconut oil to the skillet along with the diced onion. Sauté for 3 minutes until softened then add in the garlic, ginger, spices, and tomato paste. Stir and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until the tomato paste has darkened.
- Stir in the tomato sauce, cover with a lid and cook until it just starts to simmer. Add in the coconut milk and cilantro and stir until combined. Place the meatballs into the sauce, turn down the heat to low, cover with the lid and simmer until the sauce has thickened and the meatballs are cooked through, about 10-15 minutes. Taste for seasoning. Serve with brown basmati rice and garnish with cilantro.
