Hello foodies, today I will be sharing with you one of my favorite recipe which is the "Meatball recipe", it's somewhat easy to make and the meatballs comes out tender and yummy. You can use any ground meat of your choice like beef,lamb,turkey,chicken e.t.c. But ensure your meat has little fat because it prevents the meatball from getting tough when cooking. Most people mix their ground beef with pork to make it tender but I can't because "pork" is Haram. Cook with tomato sauce and serve with steamed rice or pasta over dinner.
