Indian Spiced Lamb-Balls

About 24 cocktail size meatballs

Warning – These little Indian spiced lamb bites pack a spicy punch – served with a wee bit of sweet preserve they are highly addictive! This was a catering menu item staple of mine for many events, and they are so great to have on hand in the freezer, an easy do ahead which every party planner likes!
