Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil and coat with cooking spray.

  2. Mix ground chicken, bread crumbs, olive oil, onion, ginger paste, garlic, curry powder, salt, and pepper together in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Roll mixture into thirty 1-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheet.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

  4. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions, garlic, and ginger paste, saute until onions become soft, about 5 minutes. Add sugar, garam masala, cumin, ginger, curry powder, cinnamon, chicken bouillon, paprika, cayenne, turmeric, onion powder, and salt, stir to combine. Stir in tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, heavy cream, and water. Cook until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Add butter and stir to melt.

  5. Cook sauce over medium-low heat for 30 minutes. Stir cooked meatballs into the sauce.
