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.
The taste was pretty good, but my little meatballs were drowning in sauce. And for some reason, which could definitely be my lack of experience in the meatball forming department, some of the balls fell apart. Perhaps just use 1 can of coconut milk. Overall this was a good recipe to use up the ground beef hidden in the freezer.
Not sure what I did but the meatballs were super bland. The sauce was ok but we could not get past the flavorlessness of the meat . Ugh, had to compost it.
I recently bought your super awesome cookbook, and I since I have crabby kids who are bored with the same go-to paleo dishes I make, we played a little game called “quit bitching about what mom cooks every night and each of you pick a damn recipe from this book or starve to death”. 🙂 This was one of the ones they chose this week, and it was a huge hit!! I served it with broccoli and each of my 4 boys (5 with the husband!) tore that shit up!! I had to double the recipe and cook the meatballs in batches, but it was amazing. We are huge fans of your balls over here!! 🙂 Well done, lady!!
HI
Just made this tonight and it was great! My meatballs came out fantastic, no blandness there!! I doubled the meatballs because there are 6 of us and used 1 lb. turkey and 1 lb. buffalo. However, every time I make a sauce with coconut milk(which I love!) they never thicken up for me….why is that??? This was yummy but had to serve in bowls.
These are good, but for my taste, not 5 star. I would serve these to a conservative eater going out on a limb trying new flavors. For me, the flavor doesn’t jump out and say magnificent, complex CURRY — it says meatballs with a pleasant enough difference from ketchup or BBQ flavoring. What I loved was the ease: all the ingredients were basic and already in my pantry.
Thanks for finally talking about >PaleOMG- Paleo Recipes –

Hey there would үoս mind stating which blog platform you’re using?
I’m planning to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having
a tough time making a decision ƅetween BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is Ƅecause your design seems
different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique.
P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had tο ask!
Look amazing but if I can’t use almond flour would coconut flour or just egg hold it together okay?
I have made this a couple times and it is a huge hit even with my very picky teenager. Superb! Five stars
Such a good dish. I made it with the cilantro lime cauliflower rice. Outstanding!
