Steps:
- Put the lamb in a mixing bowl.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a small skillet and add 1/2 cup of the onions and half of the garlic. Cook briefly, stirring, until wilted. Sprinkle with cumin and ground coriander and stir. Let cool briefly.
- Scrape the onion mixture onto the lamb. Add the fresh coriander, bread crumbs, egg, salt and pepper. Blend well with the fingers. Shape the mixture into 20 round balls.
- Heat the remaining tablespoon of butter in a saucepan and add the remaining 3/4 cup chopped onions, the remaining garlic and the curry powder. Cook, stirring, until the onions are wilted. Add the apples and banana and stir to blend.
- Add the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth and bay leaf and bring to a boil. Let simmer 15 minutes. Remove the bay leaf and pour the mixture into the container of a food processor or electric blender. Blend thoroughly. Return the mixture to a saucepan. Bring to a simmer.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a heavy skillet and add the meatballs. It may be necessary to use two skillets or repeat the browning of the meatballs, half of them at a time. Turn the meatballs so that they brown evenly, about 5 minutes.
- Add the meatballs to the sauce, cover and let simmer about 15 minutes.

Tips:
- Use ground lamb with a higher fat content (at least 20%) for more flavorful and moist meatballs. - If you don't have curry powder, you can make your own by combining ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, and ginger. - Use a food processor to finely chop the onion and garlic for a smoother texture in the meatballs. - Don't overmix the meatball mixture, as this can make the meatballs tough. - Use a large skillet or pot to cook the meatballs in so that they have plenty of room to brown. - Cook the meatballs over medium heat so that they have time to cook through without burning. - Serve the meatballs with your favorite sides, such as rice, naan bread, or yogurt sauce.Conclusion:
These curried lamb meatballs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The meatballs are packed with flavor from the curry powder, ginger, and garlic, and they are perfectly complemented by the creamy yogurt sauce.
