Curried Cocktail Meatballs Recipe (New Year's Eve Party Special)

bread crumbs

🥗Healthier: oats

💰Cheaper: crushed crackers

Oats provide fiber while crushed crackers are often more affordable.

coconut milk

🥗Healthier: light coconut milk

💰Cheaper: milk + coconut extract

Light coconut milk reduces fat while the mixture mimics coconut flavor.

ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Ground turkey is leaner, while ground pork is often less expensive.

cilantro

🥗Healthier: parsley

💰Cheaper: green onions

Parsley offers a similar freshness, while green onions provide a mild onion flavor.

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

In a large bowl, combine 2 lb ground chicken and 1 diced green chili.

Add 1/2 cup chopped onions and mix together with the ground meat.

Next, add 2 slices of bread, 1 egg, and salt to taste (2 teaspoons for this amount).

Add 2 teaspoons curry powder and 1 tablespoon ginger garlic paste.

Mix all the ingredients together until well combined.

Shape the mixture into small balls, about the size of golf balls, using a tablespoon or ice cream scooper.

Place the meatballs on a baking sheet.

Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and browned.

Check to see if they are done; they should no longer be pink.

Serve the meatballs warm.
