1. The first thing to do is, in a large bowl, add the meat with the spices: ginger, cumin, cinnamon, nutmeg, garam masala or curry, black pepper and salt. 
2. Add the egg and the bread soaked in milk and stir well with a spatula so that all the spices are well integrated.
3. With your hands, form meatballs the size of a walnut. .
4. Sprinkle a little flour on top and move the dish so that the meatballs are well impregnated on all sides. .
5. Then in a frying pan, pour about 4 tablespoons of olive oil, heat over medium heat and brown the meatballs, then remove to a plate with absorbent paper and set aside.
6. Then, in a deep pot, pour the remaining oil, if there is any, and if not, add another 2 tablespoons. 
7. Heat over medium heat and add the chopped onion, garlic and ginger and poach over low heat without browning for 10/15 minutes with a teaspoon of salt, stirring occasionally.
8. Add the spices (curry or garam masala and coriander seeds if you can find them) and stir everything and toast to enhance the aroma of the spices.
9. Then add the canned tomatoes and water, stir and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes. . 
10. After this time, blend the sauce with the blender in the same pot, away from the heat.
11. Then add the meatballs, turn up the heat and bring to a boil. Then lower the heat again, cover with a lid and simmer for 20 minutes.
12. In the last minutes, add the yogurt, taste and adjust the salt if necessary.
