Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, milk, and a generous pinch of salt and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, ensuring they are compact.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once the butter is foamy, add the meatballs to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally until they are browned on all sides. Remove the meatballs from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet, add the flour and curry powder. Stir constantly for 1-2 minutes to toast the flour and release the flavors of the curry powder.
- Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring no lumps remain. Bring the mixture to a simmer and allow it to cook for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, mixing well. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Return the browned meatballs to the skillet and gently simmer in the sauce for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the flavors meld together.
- Serve the Boller i Karry over a bed of fluffy rice or alongside tender boiled potatoes for a complete meal. Enjoy!
Tips
- For added flavor, consider incorporating finely chopped garlic or ginger into the meatball mixture.
- You can substitute the ground beef with ground chicken or turkey for a lighter option.
- For a vegetarian version, try using lentils or chickpeas mixed with spices and breadcrumbs to form meatballs.
