1. 1Preheat oven to 355°F. In a large bowl, add 600g of minced beef. Finely chop 1 medium onion. I used 1/2 of a very large onion here.
2. 2Add the onions to the beef. Finely chop 1 large or 2 medium tomatoes.
3. 3Add the chopped tomatoes to the beef. Chop up some parsley till you get about 1/4 cup worth.
4. 4Add all the chopped ingredients to the beef and combine well.
5. 5Add 1 tablespoon of finely chopped garlic.
6. 6Combine well.
7. 7Add 1/3 cup of breadcrumbs, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of finely grounded black pepper, 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon of Maggie seasoning sauce, 1 teaspoon of sugar and 1 extra large egg.
8. 8Mix well. Using a large ice cream scoop or any small container, measure out equal amounts of the meat mixture and roll into tight balls.
9. 9Place the meatballs on a baking sheet so that they dont make a sticky mess. Store in a tight container in the fridge if they are not to be cooked immediately.
10. 10Add 2 to 3 cups of cooking oil into a large saucepan. Ensure that there is enough oil to cover at least 1/3 of the meatballs when you add them in later. When the oil is VERY hot.
11. 11Add the meatballs in to cook. Cook at high heat. It will take less than a minute for one side to be very golden brown. Turn them over and cook the other side till they evenly golden brown.
12. 12Try not to press on the meatballs and keep them in a round shape as much as possible.
13. 13Once the meatballs are browned, place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper and chuck them into the preheated oven.
14. 14Bake at 355°F for 5 to 10 mins, depending on the size of your meatballs. The meatballs are done when clear meat juices trickle out of them. While the meatballs are cooking, you can make a sauce.
15. 15You can make a tomato salsa or use chutney to serve with the meatballs if you would like to skip this step. Or just use heated pasta sauce in a jar. Its your own preference.
16. 16Add 1 heaping teaspoon of Bisto gravy mix into a bowl.
17. 17Add 1 cup of water and mix well.
18. 18Add the Bisto mixture to a saucepan and heat till it simmers. Stir occasionally.
19. 19Add 2 tablespoons Shaoxing huatiao wine or any cooking wine, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce and 1 teaspoon of sugar.
20. 20Mix well. The sauce is ready once it has thickened.
21. 21Serve the frikkadels with the brown sauce, mashed potatoes and some steamed vegetables.
