Ingredients:

  • for the dipping sauce
  • 1 cup greek style yogurt, (if you can'tsp find greek style, any yogurt will work, just won'tsp need to thin it so much. even can be made with non-fat or low-fat)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • salt and pepper , to taste
  • additional milk
  • for the meatballs
  • 1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs , or as needed (when making the meatballs, the meat should hold together and not feel too loose, if it does , add a little more bread crumbs)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried (and in this case dried is better than fresh) mint
  • 1 tsp cumin (or to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp coriander
  • 1/2 tsp cardamon , (optional)
  • salt and pepper , to taste

Directions:

  1. For the dipping sauce: Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl. Thin as needed with some milk until you achieve a sauce that clings but is not overly thick. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  2. For the meatballs: Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl, mixing well with your hands. TEST a meatball by putting a small one in and small bowl and heating in the microwave for 30 seconds, taste and adjust seasonings to your liking. Make small, just bite sized, balls. Set on a rimmed cookie sheet. (These can easily be made the day before; cover the sheet with foil and place in the refrigerator.) Set the oven to 400 degrees; when hot, cook the meatballs, shaking the pan once or twice, for about 10 minutes.
