Ingredients Serves 6

750g lamb mince
1 onion , grated
1 red chilli , finely chopped
1 tsp ground cumin
2 cloves , ground
coriander leaves from a large bunch
1 egg
olive oil
2 x 400g tins of chopped tomatoes or tinned cherry tomatoes

a large chunk root ginger , roughly chopped
1 onion , roughly chopped

  1. Mix the lamb, onion, chilli, spices and half the coriander leaves. Add the egg and season well, then combine everything with clean hands. Form into small meatballs about the size of a walnut. Put all the spice paste ingredients in a food processor with a splash of olive oil and whizz to a paste.

Add the tomatoes and chicken stock and cinnamon and simmer for 15 minutes. Add back the meatballs and cook for another 20 minutes until cooked through. Stir through the rest of the coriander leaves to finish.
