Despite their diminutive size, these curried meatballs are big on flavor thanks to an array of spices such as turmeric, ginger, garlic and black pepper. Serve them over cauliflower rice, quinoa or your favorite base, and smother them with an easy-to-make curry sauce for a meal that’s as unique as it is delicious.
