Boller i karry a la Søndag - Meat balls in curry sauce

Boller i karry - meat balls in curry sauce is a classic Danish food, which also is referred to mormormad (Grand Ma´s food). Meat balls in curry has always been one of my favourite food, which I always pick, when available for example in the canteen at work.

Therefore I am always looking for new ways of making meat ball in curry, so when I saw this recipe in the weekly magazine "Søndag" (issue 35/2015), I decided to make it for my weekly Sunday dinner for my mother. This time the strength of the curry was at more reasonable level for her, so she even went home with some leftovers :-)
