Butter Chicken Meatballs
My husband and I love meatballs, and we love butter chicken. Before an appetizer party, we had the brilliant idea to combine these two loves, and the new creation got rave reviews! Want them as a main dish? Just serve with basmati rice. —Shannon Dobos, Calgary, Alberta

Nice change of pace. Very tasty. We plan on trying it again.

Although I'm not a big fan of dishes that are heavy on curry flavoring, I thought the flavoring in this dish was perfect! Family of four loved it. I used the Target Butter Chicken sauce (2 jars) and had 2 pounds of ground chicken for the meatballs. I also had to sub coriander for the cilantro at the last minute but will try with cilantro next time. For the garam masala and tandoori masala spices rather than hunt all over I used a website called myspicesage that has reasonable prices (and free samples with an order). I ran out of time in the afternoon and used the slow cooker on High for about 2 1/2 hours and came out great. Next time I might brown or bake the meatballs in advance. There will definitely be a next time!
These meatballs are delicious and very easy to make. I've not had many “Indian” recipes and this one will be on my list of keepers. I did use the dry packet of Butter Chicken mix and added low sodium tomato sauce. Substituted flat leaf parsley for the cilantro. Served it with brown basmati rice the first time and will enjoy the leftovers homemade naan. PS: I also served some of the meatballs with a side of broccoli & cauliflower "rice"...delicious!
I did have a bit of trouble finding the seasonings - butter chicken sauce was sold at target but i went to a specialty store to get the other mixes. This was easy to put together and the meatballs had a nice texture.
Becky6926 as the Editors Note above states, Butter Chicken Sauce will be found with the Indian foods. The Tandoori Marsala will either be with the spices or in the Indian section as well.
Where do I find Butter Chicken Sauce? I've never heard of it. What about tandoori Marsala Seasoning?
