Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Crumble the ground lamb into the onion-egg mixture with salt and pepper, mix well and divide into large lime-sized portions.
Place the meatballs on a well-greased baking tray and put it in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes or till meat is cooked and brown. Remove and set aside.
Meanwhile, in a large frying pan, combine all the ingredients required for the sauce and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
When the meatballs are done, add to the sauce and cook till the sauce coats the meatballs.
Serve hot with any bread and a salad of your choice.
