The following ingredients have 7 Servings
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 medium sweet onion (diced)
  • 1 jalapeno (seeded and diced, optional)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
  • 2 teaspoons garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
  • 1 6-ounce can tomato paste
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken stock
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup Panko
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • 2 teaspoons yellow curry powder

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • To make the meatballs, combine chicken, Panko, egg, cilantro, curry powder, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Using a wooden spoon or clean hands, stir until well combined. Roll the mixture into 3/4-to-1-inch meatballs, forming about 36-40 meatballs.
  • Place meatballs in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Place into oven and bake until lightly browned and cooked through, about 15 minutes.
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and jalapeno, if using. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Stir in garlic, ginger, garam masala and turmeric until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Stir in tomato sauce, tomato paste and chicken stock; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in heavy cream and meatballs until heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Serve immediately.
