• Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions, garlic, and ginger paste; saute until onions become soft, about 5 minutes. Add sugar, garam masala, cumin, ginger, curry powder, cinnamon, chicken bouillon, paprika, cayenne, turmeric, onion powder, and salt; stir to combine. Stir in tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, heavy cream, and water. Cook until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Add butter and stir to melt.

BAKED SPICY CHICKEN MEATBALLS (WITH THAI SWEET CHILI PEANUT SAUCE!)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200°C/400°F. Line a baking tray with aluminum foil or nonstick cooking paper and lightly brush with olive oil.
• Combine all the ingredients for the Baked Spicy Chicken Meatballs in a large mixing bowl. Mix and roll into 28-30 balls, lining them up on the foil in rows as you go. (Note: The mixture can get a little sticky to deal: rub your palms and fingers with a little olive oil before you start rolling into balls and during as needed.)
• Bake for 28-30 minutes.
• Enjoy in pastas, submarine sandwiches, or toss them in your favorite sauce and serve as an appetizer!
• You can make this sauce while the chicken meatballs are in the oven. Combine all the ingredients in a measuring cup or medium sized bowl. Mix until evenly combined.
• Once the chicken meatballs are baked, cool for 5-10 minutes. Then place a medium sized nonstick skillet over low heat. Add the meatballs to the skillet and spoon a few tablespoons of the sauce on them. Toss until fully coated with the sauce and then switch off the heat.
• Serve as an appetizer with extra sauce on the side for dipping if desired.

GOURMET SPICED CHICKEN MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook 5 minutes until soft, add the garlic and cook for a further minute.
• Add the coriander, fennel seeds and chilli and cook a further minute. Remove from the heat and cool.
• Place the chicken in a bowl with the breadcrumbs, bacon and parsley. Add the onion mixture. Season with salt.
• Mix together until all ingredients are well combined. Roll the chicken mixture into small balls - you should have about 20 meatballs).
• Chill the balls for at least 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Place the tomatoes cut (flat) side down on a tray and drizzle with oil (or spray with oil). Roast them for about 5-8 minutes until skins are just starting to split.
• Place a fry pan over a high heat and add some more oil (or spray with oil).
• Sprinkle the flour over the meatballs and roll them through the flour until they are lightly dusted with flour all over.
• cook the meatballs in the frypan in two batches until browned all over - taking care when turning them. Remove all meatballs from the pan.
• Discard any oil from the pan and reduce heat to medium low.
• Return the meatballs to the pan with the stock and tomatoes. Simmer over a low heat for 10-15 minutes. During this time - cook the pasta as per packet instructions.
• Once cooked, the meatballs can be seasoned with salt and pepper if desired.
• If using the passata/tomato pasta sauce, add to the pan and stir through - cook a further 2-3 minutes.
• Spoon the meatballs over cooked pasta, and served with grated parmesan.

CRISPY CHICKEN MEATBALLS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine 1 cup panko, the milk, egg, garlic powder and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir together and let sit for 5 minutes.
• Add the chicken and 3/4 cup Parmesan. Stir with your hands until combined, avoiding overmixing. Roll into 24 balls about the size of a golf ball (about 2 tablespoons each) and place on a sheet pan or plate. In a medium bowl, stir together the remaining ¾ cup panko and ¼ cup Parmesan. Toss each meatball in the panko-cheese mixture, pressing gently to adhere. (To avoid a big mess, designate one "wet hand" for touching the meatballs and one "dry hand" for tossing in the panko.) Refrigerate for 5 minutes.
• In a large (12-inch) skillet, heat 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon oil over medium. When foaming, add half the meatballs. Cook, turning often and reducing the heat if needed to prevent burning, until golden brown and cooked through, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low and remove any dark oil or loose panko from the skillet with a spoon or paper towel. (The skillet will be hotter at this point, so reducing the heat ensures even cooking for both batches.) Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon oil. When foaming, add the remaining meatballs and cook, turning often, until golden brown and cooked through, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer to the plate.

SPICED CHICKEN MEATBALLS WITH NOODLES, BASIL & BROTH

Steps:

• Whizz the onion, ginger, chillies, garlic, white pepper and half of the coriander stalks, roots (if using) and leaves in a food processor until finely chopped. Mix the milk and breadcrumbs together in a large bowl. Add the onion mix and chicken into the breadcrumbs, then season. Now, really mix - I mean mix - until the whole thing becomes a paste rather than lumpy. If you have a tabletop mixer, then use that instead of your hands. Shape into small balls around the size of a 50p piece. Place a large frying pan or casserole over a medium heat, add a drizzle of oil then fry the balls until well coloured - about 10 mins. You'll need to do this in batches, adding more oil each time. Set aside.
• For the broth, put the stock into a large saucepan, bring to the boil, then simmer. Add the sesame oil, fish sauce, ginger, remaining coriander stalks and roots, star anise and peppercorns. Simmer, covered, for 20 mins. Add the spring onions, noodles and chillies, if using. Take 6 large bowls, then divide the noodles between them - tongs are the best tool. Drop in the warm meatballs then ladle in the stock. Scatter with coriander and basil leaves then tuck in.

MOROCCAN-SPICED CHICKEN MEATBALLS

Steps:

• First, make the yogurt sauce: Combine 1 cup of the yogurt, 1 teaspoon of the garlic, the lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt and black pepper to taste in a small bowl. Mix well, and chill until ready to use.
• Make the meatballs: In a large bowl, combine the remaining 1/3 cup yogurt, remaining 1 tablespoon garlic, chicken, panko, egg, parsley, olive oil, sugar, paprika, cumin, ginger, cinnamon, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a few generous grinds of black pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly, until incorporated. Using an ice cream scoop or two spoons, form meatballs about 1 1/2-inches in diameter, then place them on a plate or sheet pan until ready to use.
• In a large skillet, heat 1/8-inch olive oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, fry the meatballs in batches, flipping occasionally, until browned all over and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. (If the meatballs begin browning too quickly or the oil begins smoking, lower the heat.) Transfer the cooked meatballs to a paper towel-lined plate.
• To serve, spread the yogurt sauce in an even layer on a flat platter. Arrange the meatballs on top, and top with a sprinkle of chopped parsley and the pine nuts, if using. Serve hot.
