  • 400 gram Minced veal and pork
  • 1 pcs. Onion Finely grated
  • 6 gram Curry Preferably good and strong
  • 2 pcs. Egg
  • 20 gram Oatmeal
  • 103 gram Milk
  • 300 gram Broth Chicken stock or other broth

Curry Sauce

  • 2 pcs. Onion
  • 3 pcs. Apples Diced
  • 6 gram Curry Preferably good and strong
  • 18 gram Tamari
  • 15 gram Lemon Juice
  • 36 gram Mango Chutney Good quality

Serving

  • 180 gram Rice Basmati
  • 400 gram Water
  • Spices Mixed spices, e.g. 1 cinnamon stick, 3 whole cardamom pods, and 4 cloves
  • Coarse salt
  • Pepper From the grinder

Instructions

Meatballs

  • Peel and finely grate the onion for the meatballs, and mix it with the meat, curry, salt, and pepper.
  • Add eggs and oats while stirring.
  • Adjust the mixture to the appropriate consistency with milk, and let it rest for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  • Heat the broth in a pot, and form balls from the mixture using a spoon.
  • Dip the spoon in the broth for each ball – this prevents the mixture from sticking. Let the meatballs simmer just below boiling point for about 5-7 minutes.
  • Take the meatballs out into a bowl, and strain the broth through a sieve into a pot.
  • Boil it down a bit.

Curry Sauce

  • Peel the onion for the curry sauce, dice it finely, and roast it in a pot along with the diced apples.
  • Add curry, and roast well.
  • Add the reduced broth, and bring to a boil.
  • Add cream, and let simmer for 5-8 minutes.
  • Season with tamari, lemon juice, mango chutney, salt, and pepper.
  • Add the meatballs, and heat through.
  • The sauce should taste intense and be sour, sweet, and slightly spicy.

Serving

  • Bring lightly salted water to a boil with the spices, and add the rice.
  • Let it simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat, and let it pull for an additional 7-8 minutes.
  • Serve in deep plates with the spicy rice, and top with fresh mango and peanuts.
