Method

For meatballs:

• Beat the egg in a bowl and then add all the other ingredients to it.
• Mix well with hand and make meatballs with the mixture about the size of golf balls.  
• Heat the oil to fry the meatballs.
• Once the oil has heated, fry the meatballs until they turn light golden-brown in colour. Drain and collect them on a plate.  Do not overcook them because we will be cooking them again in the sauce.

For the sauce:

• Add tomato, onions, garlic and water in a mixer and make a smooth paste out of it.
• Heat cooking oil in a pan and add the tomato-onion paste just prepared.
• Now add the chilli and coriander powder, rosemary and salt to the pan. Mix well.
• Once the sauce starts to bubble add the fried meatballs. Mix to coat the meatball with the sauce.
• Cook until the sauce starts to thicken.  Make sure the sauce is not watery.

For the Spaghetti:

• Boil water and add salt to it.
• Add the spaghetti to the boiling water and cook for the required amount of time.
• Once cooked, drain the spaghetti using the pasta drainer.

Arrange spaghetti on a plate and top it up with the meatballs and sauce. Serve hot.
