Method
- Put the beef, onion, garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander and egg in a food processor. Season and blend to a coarse paste. Using wet hands, shape the mixture into walnut size balls. Put them on a plate and chill, covered, for about 30 mins.
- To make the sauce: Heat a lidded, non stick frying pan, spray with the cooking spray and fry the onion for 7 mins, adding a little water if it starts to stick. Add the garlic and spices and cook for 30 secs. Pour in the tomatoes and add 5tbsp of water. Bring to the boil then reduce the heat to simmering point.
- Arrange the meatballs in the pan, cover, and simmer for 15–20 mins, turning occasionally and adding a little water if the sauce looks too dry, until the meatballs are cooked through.
- When the meatballs are cooked, remove them from the pan using a slotted spoon and arrange on two plates. Stir the yogurt into the pan and season. Heat through gently then spoon the sauce over the meatballs. Garnish with the extra coriander.
