The meatballs are tasty by themselves without the sauce!!!!! I used ground turkey, and the suggested spices; fantastic!! This recipe would make great burgers, kabobs, or with spagetti (and meatballs too!! The tamarind is a bit messy and time consuming to deal with, but adds another layer of flavor. The sauce was tasty. I added a little brown sugar to jazz it up a bit. Yummy meatballs!!!

The recipe was great! My son-in-law does not care for Indian food but he was delighted with this recipe. I bought the prepared tamarind sauce and it worked wonderfully.

I'm not sure why other people had trouble with bitterness and sourness. We made this according to the directions (although there is a typo in the recipe because it mentions tamarind going in the sauce and the meatballs. It actually only goes in the meatballs. Tomato paste (which is listed as an ingredient, but not in the directions goes in the sauce instead. We served this over shirataki noodles (tofu noodles -- don't knock them until you try them because they are an amazing low carb, low cal substitute for pasta and ate it like it was a masala spaghetti and meatballs. Absolutely delicious.

We really enjoyed this recipe. The only problem I had was with the sauce. The ingredient list for the sauce did not list tamurind pulp yet the directions clearly called for adding the ramurind pulp, I winged with about 1 tablespoon of the pulp however someone should be proof reading the recipes to catch errors such as missing ingredient amounts. We will be making this dish again as we loved it. We didn't do rice however we warmed up nam bread it was the perfect accomplement.

The sauce was bitter! I ended up pouring the whole thing down the drain. I ended up serving the meatballs by themselves. I tried to fix the sauce using some tips I found, but it made it taste worse. The meatballs were good by themselves. I think the cause of bitterness was from over cooking the spice which makes it turn bitter. I know it was my mistake, but I doubt I will make it again and I love indian food!

The best meatballs I've ever had in my life!! My husband agreed! They would go great without the sauce even as part of meatballs and spaghetti. I did as recommended on the prior review and used tomato paste instead of tamarind pulp and they were perfect. We had the meatballs and sauce over basmati rice. One thing to remember for next time is I will be doubling the sauce. It was soooo good and we wished we had more for the rice! We will be having this dish once a month at least. Next week I'm making these meatballs for my spaghetti! DELICIOUS RECIPE!!!

I have not made this recipe but noticed a slight mistake in the sauce. In the show, Ms. Anderson added 2 Tbsp of Tomato Paste, *NOT* Tamarind Pulp. The doubling of the pulp could very possibly the source of the sourness noted by other reviewers. I do plan on making this dish and will revise my comment then.

I too, found the sauce sour and a bit bitter. My friend and I agreed that it was tasty but barely resembled and Indian dish. The wine didn't go with the rest of the flavors and I only had Tamarind concentrate not pulp. I googled subsitutes and it said to use 1/2 the amount of concentrate as you would pulp which I did but still, too sour. I added honey and tomato paste. Overall, an interesting dish but doubt I'll make it again.

This dish is definetly an acquired taste, but so is Indian food in general. If you are looking for something spicy with a great twist, this is for you. I used a cabernet for the wine that was a little more bitter, so I added a little brown sugar to balance the taste. I really liked the tamarind with the wine and Indian spices...mmm.mmm

I don't know what I did wrong but I'm not into the flavor. It's too sour for me. I'm not that great a cook so maybe this was too advanced for me. I'll stick with Bal's no-butter chicken!
