Butter Chicken Meatballs image

My husband and I love meatballs, and we love butter chicken. Before an appetizer party, we had the brilliant idea to combine these two loves, and the new creation got rave reviews! Want them as a main dish? Just serve with basmati rice. -Shannon Dobos, Calgary, Alberta

These meatballs were a little too spicy for my taste. I think I would use less cayenne pepper next time.

This is my go-to recipe for meatballs. They are always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can make them ahead of time and then just reheat them when I'm ready to serve.

Meh. The meatballs were a bit dry and the sauce was too sweet for my taste.
