This recipe is not difficult to make, even though it has quite a number of ingredients. It's a great party appetizer.

Ingredients

DIPPING SAUCE
1 cup Plain Yogurt
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1 ea Jalapeno Pepper Seeded & Minced
3 tablespoon Fresh Parsley Chopped
KABOBS
3 slices Whole Wheat Bread
3 ea Eggs Beated
1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
1 1/2 cups Dried Bread Crumbs
1 cup French Fried Onions
3 ea cloves Garlic Minced
2 tablespoon Ginger Root Minced
1/2 teaspoon Ground Cumin
1/2 teaspoon Coriander Seeds Coarsely Crushed
4 tablespoon Fresh Parsley Chopped
1 ea Jalapeno Peppers Seeded & Minced
2 pounds Ground Beef
3 cups Vegetable Oil For Frying


 

Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl, mix together yogurt, salt, small jalapeno pepper, and 3 tablespoons chopped parsley. Set dipping sauce aside.

2. Soak bread slices in water for 3 minutes. Remove from water, and squeeze out excess moisture. Crumble into a large bowl. Mix in eggs and Worcestershire sauce. Mix in dried bread crumbs, fried onions, garlic, ginger, ground cumin, crushed coriander seed, 4 tablespoons parsley, and large jalapeno pepper. Add ground beef, and work in with your hands until well mixed.

3. Roll mixture into balls the size of walnuts.

4. Heat 3 cups of oil in a large, deep, heavy bottomed frying pan until piping hot, about 375 degrees F. Cook meatballs a few at a time in hot oil until brown and crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes. To check for doneness, cut one in half to see if cooked through; it should be cooked in the center. Remove from oil using a slotted spoon, and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Insert a toothpick into each meatball for serving and dipping. Serve hot or cold with dipping sauce.
