Directions

2. Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the meatballs from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Add the curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, and cayenne pepper to the skillet. Stir well to coat the onion and garlic with the spices.
