Ingredients:

1.2kg minced lamb
2 onions, finely chopped
1 egg
60g butter
3 tbsp cornflour (cornstarch)
1 1/2 tbsp curry powder
750ml milk
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp freshly-ground black pepper
100g breadcrumbs

Method:

Combine the lamb, onions, salt and black pepper in a bowl. Mix thoroughly then add the egg and work together to bind. Shape the resultant mixture into meatballs.

Melt half the butter in a pan, add the meatballs and fry until browned all over. Remove from the pan and set aside.

In the meantime, dissolve the cornflour in a little of the milk, so that you have a smooth slurry. Melt the remaining butter in a saucepan, stir in the curry powder and season to taste with salt and black pepper. Fry briefly then take off the heat and add the milk. Whisk in the milk and cornflour blend until smooth.

Return to the heat and bring to a boil. Continue cooking until slightly thickened then take off the heat.

Arrange the meatballs in a baking dish and pour over the curry sauce. Scatter the breadcrumbs over the top and place in an oven pre-heated to 180°C. Bake for 20 minutes and serve hot, accompanied by rice.
