Meatballs in curry sauce consist of a thick and creamy sauce flavoured with curry powder and filled with juicy, delicious meatballs. Serve over freshly cooked rice.

A classic Danish recipe, probably the first Danish dish with curry and dating back generations. It’s easy, delicious, and a great everyday dish.

Ingredients

Meatballs

1 l Water

4 pcs. Stock cube

1 pcs. Onions, finely chopped

500 gram Minced pork

1.5 dl Milk

2 pcs. Eggs

2 tbsp. All-purpose flour

2 tsp. Salt

Pepper as needed

Curry Sauce

4 tbsp. Oil

2 tbsp. Curry powder

1 dl All-purpose flour

1 dl Cream

1-2 tsp. Salt

Steps

1
Make the meatballs

Bring water and stock cubes to a boil in a pot at 103°C.

Peel the onion and finely chop it. Stir the minced pork, finely chopped onion, milk, eggs, flour, salt, and pepper together in a bowl until well mixed.

Shape the mixture into balls using a tablespoon to ensure uniform size.

Add the meatballs to the boiling stock and cook until they float to the surface. Then let them cook for a few more minutes. Ensure you add only enough meatballs to fit in one layer in the pot.

Remove the finished meatballs with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a bowl. Shape and cook the remaining meatballs. Once all the meatballs are cooked, pour the stock over them to keep them warm and add extra flavour.

Make the curry sauce

Heat oil in a pan at 130°C.

Add the curry powder and sauté it in the oil until it turns a light golden colour.

Add flour and let it cook for 1-2 minutes while stirring. It should remain viscous, so add more oil if needed.

Reduce the temperature to 105°C.

Add the cream and the stock from the meatballs. Stir and simmer until the sauce thickens.

Once the sauce has reached the desired thickness, add the meatballs.

Season to taste with salt.

Once the sauce has come to a low simmer, it’s ready. Alternatively, you can let it simmer gently until you are ready to serve.

Serve the meatballs and curry sauce with freshly cooked rice.

Notes

If you want to make the recipe gluten-free, you can replace the all-purpose flour with cornstarch in both the meatballs and the curry sauce.

It’s best to have the meatballs and sauce ready before the rice. The sauce can better stand to be kept warm than the rice can.
