• 2 place the broth, curry powder, gaaram masala and cayenne (if using) in a small sauce pan and bring to a light boil. set aside.
• 3 mix together all of the ingredients for the meatballs together. form into small 1 inch meatballs. i used a cookie dough scoop to get a uniform size. place the meatballs in the crock pot in a single layer. if possible -- my cooker is very large so it was easy -- try and have the meatballs not touch.
• 4 pour the warm broth over the meatballs. cover and cook at high for 4-6 hours. (yes, you can peek after two hours but let the heat cook the meat first.).
• 5 give the soup a good stir before serving.
• 6 enjoy!
