administratorThese are flavorful minced meat patties with a very interesting taste. They’re quite different from the meatballs we’re used to on Polish tables — but don’t worry, they’re not overly exotic. In fact, even children will enjoy them! My little one loved them, and next time I’ll definitely make a larger batch.
Why Mauritian? These meatballs are one of the most popular snacks on the island of Mauritius. I found myself missing this flavor after returning from vacation. Give them a try — they’re absolutely delicious!
Ingredients (makes around a dozen small meatballs)
250 g minced meat (beef or a mix of beef and pork)
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, pressed
A piece of ginger about the size of a cherry, grated
1 tbsp soy sauce
1–2 tbsp fresh coriander, chopped
½ tsp curry powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 egg
Breadcrumbs for coating (about ½ cup)
Neutral-flavored oil for frying (sunflower, rapeseed, etc.)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except the breadcrumbs and oil. Mix well.
Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about the size of a walnut.
Heat a generous amount of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Coat each meatball lightly in breadcrumbs and fry until golden brown on all sides.
Serve as a snack with drinks or as a main dish with your favorite sides.
These Mauritian meatballs are wonderfully fragrant, lightly spiced, and perfect for sharing — they disappear fast!
