Meatballs in a Tomato Gravy with Steamed Veggies

One of those romantic evenings, when I get to stretch my legs on our teapoy and have all the remotes under my control that also include the imaginary remote that makes husband darling prance around in the kitchen and cook me a fine dinner for a change...Yup these were his version of a store-bought meatballs in his tangy curry. Believe me they were Yummy :)

In a skillet, sliced onions and tomatoes were sauted along with those Bhaji chillies. Added in a tsp of turmeric, a tsp of chilly powder,a tbsp of coriander powder,a tbsp of Rasam powder and left to cook in the tomato gravy on simmer. Some water was added to give it a curry feel and once again left to thicken with the addition of salt and some lemon pepper powder.
The meatballs were slid in slowly and again left to cook on a simmer, the meat balls helped to thicken the gravy and gave it a different personality altogether. The tomatoes gave it a tangy feel once it cooked and blended in with the meatballs.This inspired me to take out the breadsticks/soupsticks and served it like so .

Enjoyed dunking them in. It was a treat for all of us and in no time we were all licking the plate/asking for an encore...this has inspired the man to take over the kitchen tomorrow as well ...wonder what he will come up with next...he restrained himself from garnishing the curry with finely chopped cilantro, you may do so.

We had some nice,soft Kasuri Methi rotis by yours truly-MOI

And with due respect to all the vegans, hubby darling steamed a few diced veggies as well and just sprinkled in salt and lemon-pepper powder and a tinge of oilve oil and gave it all a nice mix. This was a dry accompaniment but extremely healthy :)
