Instructions:
- Prepare the meatballs:
- In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, salt, sweet smoked paprika, coriander, black pepper, dried garlic, egg yolks, and paneer breadcrumbs until well combined.
- Add the finely chopped onion, green onions, diced tomatoes, and diced paprika to the mixture. Mix until evenly distributed.
- Shape the mixture into balls the size of large walnuts, greasing your hands with butter if needed to prevent sticking.
- Cook the meatballs:
- Heat butter and vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the meatballs on both sides until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Alternatively, preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Place the fried meatballs on a baking sheet and bake for 35 minutes or until fully cooked and browned.
- Prepare the creamy onion sauce:
- In the same pan used to fry the meatballs, add more butter if necessary. Saute the finely chopped onion until golden brown.
- Sprinkle the onions with flour and lightly toast them, stirring constantly.
- Gradually pour in the warm cream, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve:
- Drizzle the creamy onion sauce over the baked meatballs.
- Enjoy your delicious cheesy meatballs with creamy onion sauce alongside your favorite side dishes!
