Shaping meatballs is too fussy for a weeknight meal. Instead, simply scatter this garam masala–spiced mixture onto a sheet pan and roast it along with carrots until both are golden brown and crispy-edged. Serve with a tart yogurt sauce and a handful of greens for an easy dinner that deserves a permanent place in your weeknight rotation.
