Is there any non-veg person who does not like to grab meatballs? It is absolutely an amazing dish in many parts of the world. There are different ways to prepare meatballs. It may be hot, sweet and sour or just salty. Today I will share with you a spicy meatball. The difference in the recipe of my meatball is that here I use boiled meat (not raw meat). It is a very familiar dish in Bangladesh. They called it Tikka kebab. Without Tikka kebab no wedding ceremony of Bangladeshi people will be fulfilled.
