Step 1
In a bowl, mix the 1 lb ground beef with 1 tbsp curry powder and a pinch of salt. Roll into 12 small meatballs, about 1 inch each.
Step 2
Peel and dice the 2 medium potatoes into 1 inch cubes. Finely chop the 1 medium onion and mince the 3 garlic cloves.
Step 3
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Cook over medium until soft and golden, about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Stir in the 15 oz tomato sauce, 1 cup water, remaining 1 tbsp curry powder, and the whole green chili. Bring to a simmer.
Step 6
Add the diced potatoes and browned meatballs. Cover and simmer until potatoes are tender and meatballs are cooked through, about 20 minutes.
Step 7
Stir in the chopped cilantro and season with salt. Serve hot with rice or bread.
