Wonderful blend of flavors and I loved the texture of the pine nuts and apricots. Nice hint of curry without being overpowering and they went beautifully along with the cumin yoghurt and a light salad. The only thing I changed is that my oven puts out a lot of heat from the top that tends to burn at high temperatures, so I cooked at 180C / 350F for 30 minutes which worked out well.

We really enjoyed these meatballs with the curry and apricots. I made the dipping sauce, but we preferred them just as they were. The sauce was good, but I was concerned that it would overpower the meatballs. Either way -- they make a really enjoyable meal. Served them with some Tandoori Sweet Potatoes. Made for a great Indian-inspired meal tonight. Made for PRMR, January, 2013.
