Photo: Curry-Scallion Meatballs (with Herbed Yogurt) Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork or beef
- 1/3 cup dry breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup minced scallions, about 3
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- Additional 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro and 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice, for serving
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Combine all ingredients, except serving ingredients, in a large bowl and mix until just combined. Moisten hands, and gently form mixture into 1-inch meatballs (you should have about 25) and place on a baking sheet. (Meatballs can be made through this step up to 24 hours ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator; let come to room temperature 10 minutes before baking.)
Bake until meatballs are no longer pink and are cooked through, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, mix together finely chopped cilantro and yogurt, and season with salt, as desired. (Meatballs can be cooked through this step up to 30 minutes ahead and kept in a warm oven until ready to serve.)
Skewer meatballs with toothpicks and serve with yogurt mixture.

These meatballs were just fantastic and easy to make and the aroma filled the house well after I cooked them.I chopped some tomatoes,onions,and lettuce and heated a piece of pita bread on the pan and then made a sandwich with the sauce spread on the inside of the bread. What a meal!

I was told not to make these again. I served them for a party of 30 guests and only half were eaten...I figure people had one and didn't go back for seconds.

I took these to a party last night and they were a hit. I love curry but didn't use the traditional yellow curry. I used Madras curry powder. It has such an amazing aroma and taste and went perfectly with the beef. My entire house still smells like it! : I highly recommend this recipe. The meat was juicy thankfully...not dried out like so many recipes leave them. I also cheated and purchased some tzatziki from the store and skipped making the herbed yogurt. It still went nicely w/ the meatballs.
Thanks for a great recipe Aida!
