Anytime I’m invited to a party, my first thought is, I wonder what kind of food they’ll serve? A good guest list is nice and a theme is fun but if it’s a party with drinks and a cheese plate, in the words of my favorite internet celebrity, “ain’t nobody got time for that.” And while I don’t normally consider meatballs to be party food, these Indian-spiced meatballs are a fantastic twist on boring ol’ appetizers.
I made up a giant batch of these Indian-spiced meatballs on a regular ol’ weeknight. I served ’em with fancy little toothpicks, and we ate them standing around our kitchen counter, drinking water out of plastic toddler Ikea cups. We were celebrating just another week of food and family which is definitely worthy of celebration. And these meatballs were delicious! I can only assume they’d be even more perfect for a real party!
