- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 800 g tinned chopped tomatoes

- 2 tsp white wine vinegar
- 2 avocado
- ½ lime juice
- 1 large handful fresh coriander

- Toss all together with the mayo, yoghurt, vinegar and oil and season well.
- Return the meatballs to the pan and simmer for a further 15 minutes, adding another splash of water if it gets too thick.
