Meat Balls Curry

Some days just need a spicy yummy curry, do you get those days too? Well when I do get those cravings chicken curry comes to mind always, just the way my mum used to make for us.

Using same ingredients, well almost. I tried to mix too dishes in one, make curry base as usual but with my twist and added meat balls for luxurious curry.

I made curry without oil, in a pressure cooker, you can also use slow or instant cooker. Check out the recipe below to know how to make it.

This curry is healthier version of what I have grew up eating but it’s still no doubt very tasty. I have used lean meat to keep it healthy. You can easily swap with meat alternative mince or chicken to make the same dish.
