Instructions to make Meatballs in tomato and coconut sauce😋:
  1. Put the all ingedients you need together
  2. Put the ground beef in your bowl and add the breadcrumbs (I didn't have enough so I added some oats which is actually a healthier option😊)
  3. Add in the spices, the egg, half a teaspoon of sugar, salt, Worcestershire sauce, some little oil and mix well (I find it better to mix with your hands)
  4. Once everything is well combined leave to rest… Do not over mix or you'll end up with dry meatballs
  5. Cut up your onion and put to fry in a pan, add some oil and the rest of the sugar and caramelize the onions… They should be slightly golden brown as in the picture below (this is my own twist coz I love caramelized onions)
  6. Once ready quickly put the onions in with the mixed minced beef and mix.. (be careful not to burn yourself with the onions but also don't let the onions cool because they will stick together)
  7. I used a teaspoon to scoop out the beef and roll into balls (choose a size that's appropriate for you.. I prefer bite sized balls)
  8. Once done cover with cling foil and put in the fridge for about an hour. This helps the meatballs maintain their shape when you fry
  9. In the pan where you had caramelized your onions, put a little oil and put in the meatballs, fry on the sides for about 7 minutes (keep rotating so they at least look like balls 😂) other people prefer to deep fry, you can do that as well
  10. When done remove from the pan and set aside
  11. In the same same pan 😂 I like to maintain the flavours…. Melt the margarine and add the cornflour and mix well till combined, don't overcook it
  12. Add your tomatoes and dessicated coconut and cook till it makes a thick sauce
  13. Add your spices and your milk and let simmer for a little bit
  14. Add in the meatballs and leave to cook till the sauce starts bubbling (of the sauce is too thick add some water in very little portions)
  15. When done add the coconut milk or your coconut powder mixture and leave to simmer for about 2 minutes
  16. Note that: the sauce becomes thicker when it cools so while on the heat it should be Abit light
  17. Serve and garnish with corriander leaves… I served mine with plain rice mixed with some spice

Stir well and bring to a simmer. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray. Heat coconut oil over medium-high heat in a large saute pan.
