Beef Meatball Curry

Beef Meatball Curry

This is my second best dish of beef mince I am posting here today. Beef meatball curry recipe has a delicious creamy texture with a sweet taste. Since I used thick sour yogurt it was slightly sour which enhanced the flavor with other combination of spices. Adding yogurt can also reduce the heat of the dish, hence you can adjust the addition of yogurt. It can be served with rice, used as a dip with bread or as a side dish.
