This is from a friend of a friend, she used it on eating with the enemy (channel 4) & it got her through to the next round.
I was given it the other day & ITS AMAZING
Best thing for me also is I LOVE mince & always wanted a mince curry & I'm fed up of chicken in curry's.
MEATBALL CURRY WITH CORIANDER BREADS & RAITA
Curry
3 garlic gloves
2 red chillies (1 if you like it milder)
1 thick slice of white bread
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
4 tablespoons mint leaves (I didn't have any fresh I used 4 teaspoons Colemans)
750g lamb mince
1 egg, beaten
1-2 tablespoons oil
2 large onions peeled & chopped
4 tomatoes, chopped
500ml hot lamb stock (I used lamb oxo for this)
3 tables spoons hot (or med or mild) curry paste
Salt & ground pepper
Raita
200g Greek yogurt
1 small cucumber peeled & diced (I used my JML nicer dicer)
2 tablespoons mint leaves (I didn't have any fresh I used 2 teaspoons Colemans)
1 garlic clove peeled & crushed
Pinch caster sugar
Pinch of salt
Squeeze of lemon juice
To Serve
12 Chapattis
2 teaspoons ground coriander
handful of mint leaves (optional)
I lemon, cut into wedges
1. Put the garlic into a food processor with the chillies & the bread, add the cumin seeds & mint & pulse until finely chopped. Transfer to bowl & stir in lamb & beaten egg & salt & pepper. With damp hands shape into walnut sized balls.
2. Heat a splash of oil in a pan & fry meatballs for 3-4 minutes until browned. Then set aside, add onions to pan & cook for 5-8 mins until softened & golden (I did this bit in my Le cruset casserole thingy), add the tomatoes & cook for a further 2-3 mins.
3. Return meatballs to the pan with curry paste & lamb stock, stir gently, bring to boil & simmer for 30 mins.
4. For the Raita, mix the yogurt, cucumber, mint & garlic in a bowl, stir in sugar salt & lemon juice & chill until needed.
5. When ready , heat pan & brush chapattis with melted butter, sprinkle with ground coriander & fry for 1 min each side.
Scatter curry with mint leaves & serve all with lemon wedges.

I made this last night:D
I forgot to make the sauce, it was on the other side of the A4 page & I didn't realise until the meal was cooked:o
The chicken tasted "strange" do you think that was the tarragon (first time I've ised it), sort of raw garlicly taste to it.
I used 2 large breasts as I don't like essing about with the bones, etc.
TBH I don't really see whats to be gained in taking nice breasts & mincing them into burgers.
I thought the rostis were a lot of faffing about too & not as nice as sauted pots.
Is it the tarragon that I though was odd do you think?
You know how some herbs taste funny, like Lemon Grass tastes like washing up liquid:eek:0
