Method

  1. Mix the lamb, onion, chilli, spices and half the coriander leaves. Add the egg and season well, then combine everything with clean hands. Form into small meatballs about the size of a walnut. Put all the spice paste ingredients in a food processor with a splash of olive oil and whizz to a paste.
  2. Fry the meatballs in a little oil in a large frying pan until browned all over (you may need to do this in batches). Scoop out, then fry the spice paste until fragrant. Add the tomatoes and chicken stock and cinnamon and simmer for 15 minutes. Add back the meatballs and cook for another 20 minutes until cooked through. Stir through the rest of the coriander leaves to finish.

    Cooked this for family and they all really loved it. It's a really flavoursome dish. The meatballs fell apart a bit as I tried to cook too many at once. Will fry in batches next time. I served it with boiled potatoes and spinach.
