- 1 pound ground lamb
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Salt and black pepper
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 cups mixed cucumber raita (see below)
Preparation Steps
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, combine lamb, garlic, garam masala, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well with hands until just combined.
- Using your hands, shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 1/2 inches (3.8 cm) in diameter.
- Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of space between each meatball.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through.
- While the meatballs are baking, prepare the cucumber raita by mixing together yogurt, cilantro, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
- Once the meatballs are done, transfer them to a serving platter or individual plates. Serve with the cucumber raita spooned over the top.
