- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon turmeric

Instructions
- Combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, minced ginger, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well integrated. Form the mixture into evenly sized meatballs.
- Heat a drizzle of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches, browning them for about 5-7 minutes on all sides until golden.
