Serves 6-8 (this recipe is suitable for all ages with adult supervision) EQUIPMENT Large mixing bowl Chopping board Sharp knife Teaspoon Oven proof tray Fork Wooden spoon Frying pan INGREDIENTS 500g minced chicken/turkey/lamb/beef 1 medium onion, chopped 2 garlic cloves, crushed or chopped 2 tsp mild/medium curry powder 2 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp garam masala ½ tsp paprika or cayenne pepper 2dsp fresh coriander, chopped 1 egg, beaten 50g fresh breadcrumbs 1 tbsp oil Assemble all the ingredients and equipment you will need to make the zingy meatballs. Check the child understands and knows about all the equipment and ingredients you will be using. Make sure the child washes his/her hands and wears an apron. 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/ gas mark 4 2. Put the mince into the mixing bowl. Add the onions, garlic, curry powder, cumin, garam masala, paprika, coriander and mix well. By adding these spices, we get a delicious flavour without having to add any salt 3. Add the beaten egg and breadcrumbs and mix again. 4. Divide the meat mixture into 15-18 even sized pieces and shape into balls (about the size of a walnut) Always wash your hands thoroughly after handling raw meat so you don’t transfer any germs that may be on the meat to other food or equipment. 5. Heat the oil in the frying pan over a medium heat and using a spoon add the meatballs. Cook them for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove them from the pan and place them on to the tray. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. 6. Remove from the oven. Remember to use oven gloves! Allow to cool slightly and serve with a fresh, crisp green salad and tomato salsa sauce. Make sure you use oven gloves at all times when you are using the oven or handling hot dishes/utensils Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2572049/How-make-child-master-chef-Junior-cookery-champ-reveals-recipe-success.html#ixzz3ywjP6w3S Follow us: @MailOnline on Twitter | DailyMail on Facebook
