For the Meatballs:

500g Turkey breast mince

1 egg

1 spring onion

2 cloves garlic

1 tsp ginger paste

Handful of coriander leaves

Salt

1/4 tsp chill powder (if you want them spicy)

1/2 tsp paprika

10ml light butter/oil/ghee

1 tin chopped tomatoes

50g fat free plain greek yoghurt

5 peppercorns

3 cardamom pods

3 cloves

1 cinnamon stick

1 tsp paprika

1/4 tsp garam masala

  1. Preheat oven to 175 degrees C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.

  2. Add the ingredients for the meatballs to a large bowl and mix thoroughly (hands work best for this)

  3. Roll the mixture into golf sized meatballs - you should get about 20 meatballs (~30g each)

  4. Place onto baking tray and bake until brown, approx 30 minutes.

  5. While your meatballs are in the oven, heat the butter, peppercorns, cardamom, cloves and cinnamon in a skillet or deep pan.

  6. When the spices start to pop add in the tin of tomatoes and cook until the butter/oil starts to seep through to the top.

  7. Add in garlic, ginger and the remaining spices.

  8. Simmer until the sauce is nice and thick. If you want more sauce, you can add a bit of extra water.

  9. When your meatballs are done, take them out of the oven and add them to the sauce.

  10. Lastly, stir in the yoghurt and serve with rice and/ or naan and garnish with fresh coriander.
