Put 450g beef mince, 1 small chopped onion, 2.5cm piece of grated ginger, 2 garlic cloves, 1 tb ground coriander, 1/2 tsp ground cumin 1-1.5 tsp cayenne pepper and a bunch of fresh coriander in a bowl and mix together well. With clean, wet hands, form the mixture into about 30balls and chill for 30mins while you prepare the sauce.

Heat the oil in a ;arge frying pan and fry 2 chopped onions for 8 mins until soft. Add 2 tb tikka masala curry paste and fry for a minute, then stir in 6 large, chopped tomatoes and 300ml vegetable stock. Simmer 15 mins until it begins to thicken.

Sit the meatballs on the sauce and simmer for 25-30 mins, turning occasionally, until cooked. Scatter with extra coriander and serve with naans.
