taste my balls

was gonna make some burgers, but student laziness kept me from getting some baps. instead, i took Sair's idea for meatballs, but "overclocked" them a bit:

Serves: lots

450g pack of beef mince
1 small onion
some grated cheese
1 tin chopped tomatos
some garlic paste
some tomato paste
some tandoori paste
some kashmiri masala paste
2 eggs
couple of slices of bread
the usual spices - cumin, chili powder, corriander
500g pack of pasta
worcestershire sauce

put in a bowl both eggs, the mince, the cheese, the onion (finely chopped), a healthy smattering of the spices, some lea&perrins, two heaped deaspoons of the tandoori paste, the (breadcrumbified) bread. roll around to make meatball goo. make meatballs, stick on a baking tray. i got 24 relatively large balls from this

stick the tray in the oven on gas mark 6-7 (depending on ball size) for 25-30 minutes (i did 20 on 6, then upped to 7 for 10 mins)

cook the pasta as per tradition

in a saucepan put the chopped tomatos, some garlic paste, some tomato paste, more lea&perrins, a teaspoon of the kashmiri masala paste. mix around & heat gently, chuck in the meatballs when they're done (you should pick these off the baking tray with a paper towel, there'll be a fair bit of fat you don't wanna be eating). add to the drained pasta.

eat.

be wary, this makes a helluva lot of food, especially if you use a fluffy pasta like spirelli

Mmmmmm... different! Were they as scarily curry-y(!?) as they sound?!! They sound good tho!

not as strong as you'd think. a little bit of kick, no more.
