Instructions
Meatballs
-
To make the meatballs: Combine all meatball ingredients in a large bowl and mix together until evenly distributed. Shape the meatballs (1 inch balls).
-
Heat a large skillet with 2 tbsp preferred oil on medium heat. Add the meatballs and continue to flip them until evenly browned on all sides. Set aside.
Sauce
-
Heat the olive oil in a large cast iron pan (or other desired skillet). Add the hing, curry leaves, cumin, paprika, ginger powder, cinnamon and stir.
-
Add the ruffle balsamic and apple cider vinegar and deglaze the pan until vinegar has reduced.
-
Then add the crushed tomatoes, water, sugar, bay leaves and oregano. Stir for 2 mins.
-
Add the meatballs. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
-
Simmer on a low heat for about 20 – 25 minutes (mixing every 3-4 mins to prevent sticking on the bottom) until the meatballs are tender and the tomato sauce has slightly thickened. Enjoy!
