Method

Preparation time: ca. 20 min / Grade of difficulty: easy / Calories per portion: n/a

Preheat the oven to 180 ºC and spray a large baking sheet with non-stick spray.

In a bowl mix together all ingredients except the bananas and breadcrumbs.

Divide the mixture into 16 portions and shape a round ball around each piece of banana. Coat each meatball with breadcrumbs, arrange on the baking sheet.

Chill for 5-10 minutes so the mixture becomes firm.

Then bake in oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve hot with a curry sauce and rice.

Curry Sauce:
Fry the onion in a little heated oil. Add the curry powder and fry for another minute. Add the juice, apricot jam and grated rind along with the cornflour paste. Simmer until the sauce comes to the boil and thickens. Keep stirring continuously. Season with salt and pepper.

Serve with the banana meatballs.
