Before I introduce you to this MUST-IMMEDIATELY-TRY Afghanistani dish, I would like to share with you something about Asian food.
You will see many Asian dishes on my blog because I find them very delicious. Especially curries, they are a piece of heaven in the world of food. I would like to specify that a curry dish doesn’t mean that the food contains the spice curry. In original traditional cuisines in Asia, curry simply means any dish consisted of richly spiced sauce cooked with meat and/or vegetable. It usually goes on the table with rice or naan bread and there are plenty varieties of it.
Such dishes have specific names that refer to their ingredients, spicing, and cooking methods. Spices in curry can be both whole and ground, cooked or raw, and one should add them to the dish at different times during the cooking process. The last one is for the purpose to produce different results. The basic spices in most curry dishes are usually coriander, cumin, and turmeric. Try this recipe as soon as possible, and see why you will impatiently wait for all of the others 🙂

Meatballs Preparation
- Season the minced meat with salt and black pepper, mix it all together, then form mini burgers. Place a piece of mozzarella in the middle of each burger, then place another mini burger on top of it and from the two burgers with mozzarella between them, form a meatball. Make as many mozzarella meatballs as you have meat.
- Put the meatballs on a grill pan with a little olive oil and fry them on each side. Once they are ready, set them aside until you get the sauce done. Sauce Preparation
- In another cooking bowl (usually a deeper frying pan), place the chopped onion on a pre-heated olive oil and simmer over medium heat until completely softened and translucent.
- Add the tomato puree and simmer on low heat for 5 minutes. Then add the turmeric and dried parsley.
- Simmer for another 10 minutes, add the sour cream or cooking cream and simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Add the pre-cooked meatballs to the sauce, and add chopped spring onions on the top (optional). Serve with rice or another side dish.
