Lamb Meatballs in Green Curry Sauce

These lamb meatballs in green curry sauce offer a vibrant twist on traditional comfort food. This dairy-free main course combines succulent minced lamb with a fragrant, herbaceous sauce built on a base of coconut milk, fresh coriander, and ginger. The tamarind provides a delicate tang that balances the richness of the meat, while the jalapeño adds a gentle, warming heat. It is a wonderfully aromatic dish that brings a touch of fusion flair to your midweek dinner rotation.

Perfect for those seeking a nutritious and dairy-free option, this recipe relies on authentic spices like garam masala and cumin for deep, savoury flavour. The meatballs are chilled before cooking to ensure they hold their shape perfectly while simmering in the vibrant green sauce. Serve these tender meatballs over a bed of fluffy basmati rice or with warm flatbreads to soak up every drop of the spiced coconut gravy.

Ingredients for Lamb Meatballs in Green Curry Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tablespoons peeled and minced fresh ginger

  • 1 jalapeño or serrano chilli, seeded and minced

  • 1 (375g) can coconut milk (do not shake)

  • 1 tesked malen kummin

  • 1/2 teaspoons garam masala

  • 1 cup packed chopped coriander leaves

  • 1 teaspoon tamarind concentrate (sold at Indian grocers) or fresh lemon juice

  • Koshersalt

  • 450g lamb mince

  • 120ml fresh bread crumbs

  • 1 large egg, beaten

  • 1 tesked malen kummin

  • 1/2 teaspoons garam masala

  • 1/2 teskedar kosher salt

  1. To make the meatballs, mix the lamb mince, bread crumbs, egg, cumin, garam masala, and salt together in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 4 hours.

  2. To make the sauce, heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, ginger, and chilli and stir well. Open the can of coconut milk. Spoon out and measure 120ml the thick coconut milk that has risen to the top. Add to the saucepan with the cumin and garam masala. Cook until the onion mixture is softened and the coconut milk is reduced and looks oily, about 5 minutes. Add 1 cup water, the coriander, tamarind concentrate, and remaining coconut milk (about 300ml ). Whisk well and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, whisking occasionally, until slightly reduced, about 10 minutes.

  3. Using your hands rinsed under cold water, shape the meat mixture into 24 equal small meatballs. Transfer to a plate. Carefully add the meatballs to the simmering sauce and cover with the lid ajar. Simmer until the sauce is thickened and the meatballs are cooked through with no sign of pink, about 20 minutes. Season with salt. Serve hot.
