Instructions

Let's Begin!

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Mix extremely well.
Take a handful of the meat mixture and form 1 1/2-inch meatballs. Continue until all the mixture is gone.
In a cast iron pour oil in and begin searing the lamb meatballs on medium-high heat, until most sides are nicely browned, about 10 minutes. ( You can finish cooking them through in the sauce, so just brown them at this point)
Remove meatballs and place in a casserole dish.
Pour coconut milk, curry powder, salt, and pepper over casserole dish and mix well
Bake at 350 for 15-20 mins.
Serve over rice and enjoy!!
