My friend, Madhavi Naik, originally from Mumbai (Mumbai is the Indian name for what we used to call Bombay, India), gave me her appetizer recipe for Indian meatballs. The meatballs were so good that I thought they would make a unique, family-friendly dinner, too. I like to serve the meatballs on colorful toothpicks with a few dipping sauces (even sauces as pedestrian as ketchup and mustard), or over basmati rice with the sauce on top.
