Serves 4
For the meatballs:
450g lean beef mince
Salt and black pepper
¼ onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 tsp curry powder
¼ tsp garam masala
½ tsp turmeric
Pinch of cayenne pepper
1 tbsp coconut oil
For the curry sauce:
1 onion, finely chopped
1 tsp curry powder
½ tsp turmeric
2 garlic cloves, crushed
180ml coconut cream
300ml chicken or beef stock
2 large handfuls of fresh or frozen spinach
½ tsp dried chilli flakes, or to taste
- In a bowl, combine all of the meatball ingredients except for the coconut oil.
- Mix together until just combined, then shape into 3-4cm balls.
- Heat the coconut oil in a large pan over a medium-low heat.
- Add the meatballs and brown on all sides, working in batches if necessary to avoid crowding the pan. Remove to a plate lined with kitchen paper and set aside.
- Turn the heat to low and add the onions to the same pan. Cook for 6-7 minutes until translucent and beginning to brown.
- Add the curry powder and turmeric to the onions and stir for one minute. Add the garlic and stir for another minute.
- Add the coconut cream and stock and turn the heat to medium low. Bring to a simmer, then add the spinach and return the meatballs to the pan. Simmer gently for 7-8 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly. Season to taste with salt, black pepper and chilli flakes.
