Cooking process
1 Put all the meatball ingredients in a food processor and knead everything well. If you are making minced meat in a meat grinder, then pass everything through the grinder twice.
2 From the resulting mass, we form balls the size of a walnut.
Fry the meatballs on all sides in vegetable oil until golden brown.
3 Let’s start making the sauce.
Finely chop the onion, garlic and almonds. Cut the chili into slices. Grind cloves and other spices in a mortar (if you don’t use ground ones).
Put the onion in a preheated pan with vegetable oil and fry it for 5 minutes. Add chili and garlic to the onion, mix and fry for a few more minutes. Next, add all the seasonings, almonds and mix everything well. We continue to fry. After a few minutes add chopped tomatoes in our own juice and coconut milk. Salt to taste. Mix. Put the meatballs in the sauce. Simmer over low heat for 25-30 minutes.
After this time, we get a delicious spicy dish.
Serve the meatballs in Asian sauce, sprinkled with finely chopped cilantro.
As a side dish for this dish, I usually cook rice. It seems to me that neutral rice goes well with a very aromatic sauce and meatballs.
In such a sauce, you can cook not only meatballs, but also pieces of turkey or chicken fillets. It turns out very tasty too.
