Add the cinnamon, chilli powder and paprika. 3 Crush the cumin seeds in the palm of your hand and sprinkle into the mix. Season with salt and pepper. Shape into 20 small meatballs and gently cook in hot oil in a frying pan, turning often. 4 For the Sauce: Cook the onion and garlic in oil, add the tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes.

Surround the couscous with five meatballs and top each one with tomato sauce. Converted by MC_Buster. NOTES : This recipe is enhanced by giving the meat time to absorb the flavours from the sauce.
