Ingredients

500 grams Minced beef (or lamb)

125 grams Cooked carrots, minced

1 clove Garlic, minced

100 grams Rice, cooked

1 Egg

1 teaspoon Curry powder

Salt and pepper

10 tablespoons Sesame seeds

Cooking oil

Preparation

In a mixing bowl, add in the minced beef, cooked carrots, minced garlic, cooked rice, egg, curry powder, salt and pepper to taste. Stir until the mixture is well-blended.

Roll the beef-rice mixture into 3cm balls, about 35 balls. Coat each ball evenly with sesame seeds. Heat the oil in a large skillet until hot. Lower in the meatballs, several at a time and fry until cooked through and nicely golden. Remove and drain. Serve them warm with sour cream.
