Meanwhile, mix together the ground beef, cilantro, remaining garlic and onions, 1 egg and paprika. Season then shape into meatballs. Beat 2 eggs in a deep dish and put the breadcrumbs and flour in separate dishes. Coat the meatballs first in the flour, then the egg and finally the breadcrumbs. Heat 6 tbsp oil in a large frying pan and cook the meatballs in batches, turning as necessary, for 8-10 mins until golden all over. Serve the meatballs and sauce on plates garnished with the remaining nuts and cilantro.
