Health benefits of Curried Meatballs

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.

Ingredients

Olive oil
6 scallions, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 jalapeños, seeds removed if desired
6 garlic cloves
1 (1-inch) piece ginger, peeled, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon garam masala
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 pounds ground beef (20% fat)
1 large egg, beaten to blend
3 tablespoons plain yogurt
2 teaspoons kosher salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 °F. Lightly brush a rimmed baking sheet with oil. Purée scallions, jalapeños, garlic, ginger, lemon juice, garam masala, coriander, cumin, and cayenne in a blender until smooth. Transfer mixture to a large bowl and add beef, egg, yogurt, and salt. Mix with your hands until mixture is homogenous and starts to become very sticky like sausage meat, about 1 minute. Using a 2-oz. ice cream scoop to portion if you like, roll beef mixture into golf ball–size portions and place on baking sheet, spacing 1" apart (you should have about 24). Drizzle meatballs with more oil and bake until browned on top and cooked through, 20 –25 minutes.
