Curry night is something we all look forward to, a nice spicy feast and a good film is always a good thing. It can be expensive though especially if there's a few of you, and a couple of dishes each when ordering for a family can really mount up.

So I came up with this budget beating lamb meatball curry that costs a fraction of any takeaway. You can actually make this even cheaper if you want, by swapping the lamb mince for pork or beef. This lamb meatball curry will feed 3 people with sides maybe 4 if you have smaller appetites.

To make my lamb meatball curry you will need: For the meatballs

• 500g of lamb mince

• 2 tsp ground coriander

• 2 tsp ground cumin

• 1/4 tsp of chilli powder

• 2 tsp ginger garlic paste

• Salt

For the sauce

• 1 large red onion

• 1 medium sized courgette

• 1x400g can of chopped tomatoes

• 2 tsp of ginger garlic paste

• 1 tsp turmeric

• 2 tsp ground coriander

• 1 tsp chilli powder

• 2 tbsp garam masala

• 1 bay leaf

• A small handful of fresh coriander stalks and leaves

• Salt

• 2 tbsp of oil for cooking

Serve with rice, roti or in this case a hoofing great naan!
