Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 cup cilantro
  • ½ cup yogurt
  • 1 whole lime
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a bowl, combine 1 lb ground beef, 0.5 cup breadcrumbs, 1 beaten egg, 1 minced garlic clove, and 0.5 tsp salt. Mix until just combined.

  2. 2

    Roll the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs. You should get about 12.

  3. 3

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs in a single layer, not crowding the pan.

  4. 4

    Cook the meatballs, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes. They should feel firm and reach 160°F inside.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, make the chutney: in a blender, combine 1 cup cilantro, 0.5 cup yogurt, juice of 1 lime, 1 minced garlic clove, and 0.5 tsp salt. Blend until smooth.

  6. 6

    Serve the hot meatballs with the green chutney, lime wedges, and a sprinkle of red chili flakes if desired.
