Beef Meatball Rogan Josh

Meanwhile, roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all). Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

In a large bowl, combine half the garlic, half the North Indian style spice mix, the breadcrumbs, salt and water for the breadcrumbs (see pantry for both amounts), then add the beef mince.

Season with pepper and mix together with your hands.

Roll into evenly-sized balls, 5 per person. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince.

Pop the meatballs onto a large baking tray.

When the oven is hot, bake on the top shelf until browned on the outside and cooked through, 12-15 mins. IMPORTANT: The meatballs are cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.

Add the rogan josh curry paste, remaining garlic and North Indian style spice mix. Cook until fragrant, 1 min. 

Add the passata, beef stock paste, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts). Stir to combine, bring to the boil, then simmer until thickened, 6-8 mins. 

When the meatballs are cooked, stir them through the curry sauce. 

Add the spinach to the pan a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins.

Taste the sauce and season with salt, pepper and more sugar if needed.
