Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a bowl, mix 1 lb ground beef, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 minced garlic clove, and a pinch of salt. Form into 12 small meatballs.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until browned all over and cooked through, about 10 minutes.

    Meanwhile, blend 1 cup yogurt, 1/2 cup cilantro, 1 garlic clove, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Set aside.

  4. Step 4

    In a small bowl, stir 2 tbsp tomato paste with 2 tbsp water and a pinch of salt to make a quick chutney.
