This dish is one of Hubs's family favourite and really easy to make. My first attempt in making this dish a few years back was not very successful and I never had the opportunity to try again with work commitment and all. However, being in Jakarta, we do miss home cooked curry every now and then, hence I decided to try this again. It turn out well this time around, and I foresee there will be more request of this from Hubs. :)
Meatball Curry
For the meatball:
500gm of beef mince
1 egg
1 potato, boiled and mashed
1 onion, minced
3-4 stalks of coriander leaves, minced
1 red chilli, minced
salt and pepper to taste
- Combined all the ingredients in a large bowl. Stir to mix well. Roll the mixture into small balls i.e. golf ball size
For the curry:
2 tablespoon of meat curry powder
1 tablespoon of chilli powder
1 onion, sliced
1 stalk curry leaves
1 star anise
1 cinnamon stick (about 3cm)
3-4 cloves
3-4 cardamom
2 potatoes, cubed
1 tomato, cubed
Water or stock
- Mix the curry powder and chilli powder with a some water until turn paste.
- Heat 2 tbsp oil and fry onion till soft. Next add in curry leaves and spices and fry till fragrant.
- Add in the curry powder mix and continue frying for about 15 minutes. If paste dries up, keep on adding water to make a watery paste.
- Add in potatoes, and cook for a futher 10 minutes. Next add in the meat balls, and add just enough water to cover.
- Bring curry to boil for 20 minutes. Do not stir the curry as this will break up the meatballs. Instead, carry the pot and give a couple of swirl to mix.
- Add in tomatoes and cook for another 15 minutes. Allow curry to sit for at least half an hour before serving.
