Method

  1. Place all the meatball ingredients in a large bowl. Season with salt and then mix until well combined. Using clean hands roll the mixture into balls in golf ball size.  
  2. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook for 3 minutes, turning occasionally until the outside has browned.  
  3. Make a space in the middle of the frying pan then add in the butter chicken paste and fry it for 2-3 minutes, or until aromatic. Add in the tomatoes, water and then stir into the paste and mix the meatballs into the sauce. Gently simmer for 4-5 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through. Stir in the cream and butter to make the sauce rich and glossy. 
  4. Remove from the heat and garnish with a little extra cream, broken papadums and coriander tops. *Serve with steamed basmati rice or naan bread. Serves 4.
