Wash the parsley, shake dry and chop finely, except for a little to garnish. Grate the beetroot. Cut the garlic bulb in half horizontally, squeeze 1/2 clove of garlic from one half and chop finely.
Mix minced meat, egg, parsley, beetroot and garlic, season with salt and pepper and form into 4 meatballs.
Peel and finely dice the shallots. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a saucepan, fry the halved garlic bulb strongly, add the shallots and sauté briefly. Add curry and deglaze with broth and cream, simmer for 4-5 minutes while stirring.
Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan and fry the meatballs in portions over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, turning them over. Wash and clean the cucumbers and cut them into slices. Season curry to taste with salt, pepper and sugar, foam up with a hand blender and pour into a bowl.
Add the meatballs, gherkins and parsley. Rice tastes good with it.
