Curry is BACK!! Never let go curry, never let go.
Throw back!! Check out this meal from back in the day. Doesn’t that picture look delicious? You want to eat it right off the screen don’t you?! Of course you don’t, it looks like dog doo. That’s why I had to recreate this meal. It’s delicious and it should look like meatballs. Not poop balls. Gross. I should have never said that.
The last time I made this recipe, I used ground turkey. But this time, I went CRAZY and used ground beef. I think so outside the box sometimes. But I just had to try TX Bar Organics grass fed ground beef that I just got a shipment of. And it was AWESOME. If you are looking for some grass fed beef to order online, these guys are awesome and send everything packaged up all amazing like. They’re great. Period.
Anywho. In my phone, I have this notepad app that I write ideas I come up with for my blog. Either recipes or just something I want to talk about. I wrote down “uti commercial” the other day. WTF? What does that even mean? I actually was contemplating on talking about urinary tract infections. On the world wide web. Ugh. Get your life together Juli.
Over the weekend, I went to a rugby fundraiser. No, I don’t play rugby, or any sport for that matter, but a lot of men at my gym play rugby. And I support any sort of male sport that insists on wearing short-shorts while running. Really fast. Wait, I take that back. Males who run far distances and have half the thigh size of mine, those guys creep me out. Sorry bros. Thicker thighs are just better. It’s plain fact. Anyways, lots of good looking men in nice outfits. But they were all drunk. It’s a shame I don’t drink more like I used to in my 21 year old days. I was riot then. Now I like pajamas….a lot. I left the party by 10:30pm. Fail Juli, fail.
Leftovers: Curry Meatballs
- Prep Time: 8 mins
- Cook Time: 10 mins
- Total Time: 18 minutes
- Yield: 3-4 1x
Ingredients
For the balls
- 1 lb TX Bar Organics Grass Fed Ground Beef (I used ground turkey last time)
- 1/2 yellow onion, diced
- 2/3 cup almond flour
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 2 teaspoons garam masala
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger
- just a hint of cinnamon
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1–2 tablespoons coconut oil for cooking (or other fat you like to use)
For the saucey flare
- 1.5–2 cups canned coconut milk (the more the better)
- 1 cup organic chicken broth
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 5 teaspoons curry powder (based upon your curry obsession)
- 2 teaspoons garam masala
- 1 teaspoon ginger
Instructions
- Add all ingredients for your meatballs to a larger bowl and thoroughly mix together.
- Shape meatballs to the size you like. Mini meatballs or large ones are both acceptable!
- In a large skillet or pot, add your coconut oil then add your meatballs and diced onions from your sauce ingredients and let them brown for a couple minutes. Let the meatballs cook on both sides for about 3-4 minutes.
- Once the onions and meatballs have browned a bit, add the rest of the ingredients for your sauce and mix together until meatballs are covered in sauce.
- Cover and let meatballs and sauce simmer until the sauce thickens and meatballs have cooked through–about 5 minutes.
Wow ! Did not have Garam masala so I made my own with cumin, cloves, cinnamon, green cardamom pods and pepper. Not perfect but close enough.
It is delicious, thanks again for another great recipe !
Made it for dinner. Casey loves me more now than an hour ago. Sooo.. Thanks!
I made these. I ate these. ALL of these. OK, I shared like two with a crumbsnatcher that was at my house when they were done. I have no more of these. Well, except some gravy. Which I plan to put on some cauliflower. Who has time to make more of these. These were so good. While these lasted. Sigh…..
Could I substitute coconut flour for almond flour? Are they interchangeable in recipes like this?
No they’re definitely not interchangeable. You could try though! You will just need to use a lot less coconut flour
hi there – i’m thinking of trying this tonight and i wanted to know if the ginger called for in the recipe is ground ginger or fresh ginger?
either would work, but in the recipe its ground ginger
For all of you no-nut eaters, I subbed 1/4 cup coconut flour for almond flour. It worked perfectly. I love this recipe and this blog!
They’re delicious! Thank you for this recipe 🙂 I didn’t have chicken stock at home at the moment, but I didn’t want to miss out on extra flavor. So I added 2 teaspoons of thai green curry paste instead. OMG! Fingerlicking good!
So good! I baked them then threw them in the cococurry sauce, added a bunch of chopped up chard in the sauce too. Can’t wait for lunch tomorrow. Thanks for the recipes.
This was SO GOOD!!! My husband went on and on about how good it was 🙂
I made these last Wednesday. I used ground turkey and coconut flour instead of almond flour (I thought I had almond, I didn’t, it was pouring out and didn’t feel like going to the store)… DELISH!! I will be making these again!
