Ingredients

1 pound Lean Ground Beef

4 cups Grated Coconut

1 Egg

2 tablespoons Finely Chopped Cilantro

2 Cloves Garlic, minced

3 teaspoons Ground Coriander

1 teaspoon Ground Cumin

1 teaspoon Salt

teaspoon Black Pepper

Vegetable Oil for frying

Pineapple Chunks

Preparation

Put the beef, coconut, egg, cilantro, garlic, coriander, cumin, salt, and pepper into a deep bowl and knead until well combined. Form meatballs of about 1/4-cup each. Heat oil in a large, heavy pan set over medium heat until it is very hot, but not smoking. Deep-fry the meatballs, 5 or 6 at a time, until they are crisp and nicely browned. Drain on paper towels and keep warm until ready to serve. To serve, put each meatball on a small bamboo skewer with a pineapple chunk.
