Notes

  • Do not use toasted bread to make the meatballs. 
  • Instead of the bread, you can use panco breadcrumbs as well. 
  • If Madras Curry powder is not available, use a blend of Coriander, cumin, fennel seed, curry leaves, star anise, Mustard seed and cinnamon and make a powder after dry roasting those.
