Serves 4
Ingredients:
Meatballs-
1 lb. ground turkey (or ground beef)
2 tbsp chopped cilantro
¾ tsp garam masala
2 cloves of garlic
3 tbsp onion, minced
1 medium egg
1 tsp salt
Sauce-
1 medium onion, minced
2 tbsp canola oil
2 bay leaves

1 ¾ cups chopped/diced fire roasted can tomatoes
2 cloves of garlic, minced
½-1 cup water
½ tsp turmeric
½-1 tsp cayenne
2 tsp coriander
1 tsp garam masala

4-6 ounces peas (optional)
sour cream-topping
In a large bowl, mix ingredients for meatballs. In a saucepan, heat canola oil on medium heat and then add onion, bay leaves and cinnamon stick. Sauté until onions are golden, 3-5 minutes and add tomatoes, garlic, tumeric, cayenne, coriander, garam masla and salt. Mix and add ½ cup water. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to simmer and cook while making meatballs.
Make meatballs however large you would like and place into sauce, cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes, turning carefully to coat them with the sauce every 5 or so minutes. Uncover and continue cooking another 3-5 minutes until cooked through and then add the peas (optional) and cook until bright green. Serve with rice and maybe some naan.
