Creamy Lamb Meatballs

Just as love and marriage are inseparable, so are Rista and Goshtaba at Kashmiri weddings—the same flavored meatballs with two different sauces. This one bathes the spicy lamb with a creamy sauce perfumed with saffron and a fennel-kissed spice blend. I often serve Rista and Goshtaba together, to allow my dining companions to marvel at their dissimilarities, even though the meatballs are flavored with the same intriguing spice combination.
