When Italy met India...

...or coriander mini polpettone in creamy curry sauce served with gralic and coriander naan bread.

I should probably start with a disclaimer: this is not a recipe for an Indian meatloaf (though it actually sounds like a good idea for the future).

You'll need:
around 300g of minced pork
1 egg
chili powder
ground coriander
leaf coriander
pepper and salt
breadcrumbs (optional)

For the sauce:
150/200g creme freche
medium curry powder
garam masala
chili
leaf coriander
ground coriander
turmeric (optional) (use if you want a super yellow effect)

1. Mix the mince and the spices, add the egg. If the mixture is too loose to form mini balls, add some  breadcrumbs.
2. Form small balls, no more than 3cm in diameter.
3. Warm the oil on a grill pan.
4. Fry your mini polpettones.
5. Take a second pan, add your cream and mix it with the scpices. Remember not to overheat the sauce, as it will loose the nice creamy consistency if you do.
6. Prepare your naan (today I was short of time and so used a ready-made one, but I will explore the joy of proper naan making at some point, I promise)

et voila! Super tasty dinner in less than 15 minutes. If you're very hungry you can also serve it with rice, but for me it's already very filling as it is.


Bon appétit!
