1 tbsp paprika

1 tbsp cumin

1 tbsp salt

1 tsp cayenne

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp garlic

3 cups basmati rice

4 large tomatoes

1 large onion

4 lbs ground beef

Begin cooking the basmati rice

Combine spices (parsley, cilantro, paprika, cumin, salt, cayenne, cinnamon, garlic) and divide into two portions (each around 4 tbsp)

Chop tomatos, onion, and one portion of spices (around 4 tbsp) in a blender until homogenized but still textured

Pour into a large saucepan and heat on medium

Meanwhile, knead the other portion of the spices into the ground beef

Roll the ground beef into spheres (around 2-3” in diameter), and add to sauce

Simmer the tomatos and meatballs covered for around 10 minutes

Serve in a bowl over basmati rice
