Danish meatballs in curry
This recipe is my Danish grandmother’s. She used to make this for me and my brother as kids, and sometimes even surprise us when we got home from school with this dish. This was the first time I made it myself and it tasted exactly like hers, bringing back many happy memories.
There really is something special about making a dish with a story behind it. It is also a lot more fun to serve it to others when you have a story to tell.
Meatballs in curry or “Boller i Karry” in Danish is a traditional Danish dish from the beginning of the 1900s. Even though there is curry in the sauce it tastes nothing like Indian food, and it is not spicy at all. The dish is normally served with rice. It is also quite easy to make.
