- 400 g [Pork mince](https://fridge.menu/en/i/minced-pork)
- 1 pcs [Onion](https://fridge.menu/en/i/onion) — finely chopped
- 50 ml [Milk](https://fridge.menu/en/i/milk)
- 1 pcs [Egg](https://fridge.menu/en/i/eggs)
- 100 ml [Porridge oats](https://fridge.menu/en/i/oatmeal)
- 1 tsp [Salt](https://fridge.menu/en/i/salt)
- 1 tsp [Black pepper](https://fridge.menu/en/i/black-pepper) — freshly ground
- 2 tbsp [Butter](https://fridge.menu/en/i/butter)
- 2 tsp [Curry powder](https://fridge.menu/en/i/curry-powder) — medium strength
- 1 tsp [Cumin](https://fridge.menu/en/i/cumin) — ground
- 1 tsp [Ground coriander](https://fridge.menu/en/i/ground-coriander)
- 3 tbsp [Plain flour](https://fridge.menu/en/i/flour)
- 300 ml [Milk](https://fridge.menu/en/i/milk)
- 300 ml [Stock](https://fridge.menu/en/i/stock)
- 400 ml Basmati rice
- 1 pcs [Apple](https://fridge.menu/en/i/apple) — diced
- 1 pcs [Mango](https://fridge.menu/en/i/mango) — diced
- 1 bunch [Parsley](https://fridge.menu/en/i/parsley) — finely chopped

## Steps

1. Cook the rice according to the package instructions. (18 min)
2. Mix the meatball ingredients in a bowl using a mixer, and prepare the sauce while the mince rests. (5 min)
3. Melt the butter over low heat with the curry powder, coriander and cumin, then whisk in the flour until smooth. (2 min)
4. Slowly pour in the milk, stirring until the base is smooth and even. (2 min)
5. Bring the sauce to the boil and add stock to reach the desired thickness. Season with salt, pepper and more curry powder if needed. (1 min)
6. Shape the mince into meatballs, wetting your hands with cold water so the surface is smooth and firm. (5 min)
7. Simmer the meatballs briefly in stock, then transfer to the curry sauce — or add the raw meatballs straight into the sauce, where they will cook and flavour it.
8. Cover the pan and let the sauce and meatballs simmer gently on low heat for about 15 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through. Stir occasionally with a wooden spoon so the sauce doesn't catch but the meatballs stay whole, adding more stock if needed. (15 min)
9. Serve with rice; it's also lovely topped with diced apple, mango and chopped parsley.
