Last meatball, I got the comment is 'too dry' . I agree, I thought it was only because meat is too lean. Then I did some research and found out the magic secrete!. Besides it should be at least 20% fat ground meat, also needs bread crumb and egg to hold the fat and prevent it from going away when being cooked. The most magic part is add water!! I know, it's difficult to believe , but it is definitely true. so my plan is:
1. 80/20 ground beef, ground lamb=2:1
2.2 eggs, about 1/2 cup panko
3. mix beef broth and coconut milk . finally soak meatball in the coconut milk.
Sauce : curry
For meatball:
using whichever herbs you can think of to make it get along with lamb and curry sauce:
coriander, cumin, turmeric , cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder,
(salt , pepper)
also minced cilantro , golden raisin( after soaked)
Using pan to cook meatball until it's done.
Curry sauce is Japanese curry cube, I mixed in carrot, mushroom, onion, potato, ( no surprise)
After curry sauce and meatball are done, throw meatball into sauce. and it's done.
I don't like cook meatball in the sauce, one thing is curry sauce is kinda heavy and needs low-head which is not good to make meatball cooked, the other is it would make curry sauce too greasy.
My original idea was to use some pita bread to wrap meat ball( like greek , Mideast style), but I found nann bread in store, it’s more Indian. But it came out not easy to eat : )
Zhao is so sweet, she complements everything I make, she also eats it in a way that makes you feel like she is enjoying it very much. I love that!
I remember I was going to do the meatball in this way, but sK didn’t agree, so we quitted. It’s really good, and lamb meatball should be treated in this way. I am happy that I make it come true again ( besides zhaozhao, my roommate also gave endorsement).
Although sK always discouraged me to be adventure, still it is sK that made me realize I love cooking so much and gave me the initial passion that still drives me to try, to learn, to explore.
So every time I got success, I would feel grateful.
