Thai Meat Balls

This recipe is from Sydney.  We had a fund-raising lunch at our Primary School, and we were given the recipe to make these meatballs. 

Ingredients

3 lbs. lean ground beef
1 onion - finely chopped (or less)
1 bunch of cilantro (chopped)
3 cloves of fresh garlic (minced)

3 small red chilies (seeds removed) or 3 tsp minced chili (use gloves if you use fresh chilies as they will burn your eyes and skin if you touch them).
3 tsp fresh ginger root - peeled & chopped finely
3 tbs curry powder
1 C bread crumbs
1 extra large egg + 1 tbs water

Method

Mix together by hand or in a food processor.
Roll into little meatballs and place on a cookie sheet lined with foil (sprayed with Pam cooking spray first). Bake 12-15 minutes at 350. Can be made ahead and warmed up.

Serve with mango chutney or any sauce that is hot/sweet.

Note:

1/8 tsp cayenne pepper or fresh pepper can be substituted for the fresh red chilies if you do not like them too spicy.
