Smirneika soutzoukakia by my grandmother

Mix all the ingredients and shape into oblong soutzoukakia (meatballs).

Heat the oil in the frying pan and fry for 3-4 minutes just enough to change their colour to light brown.

Add the tomato sauce, a little cumin powder, salt, pepper, a little sugar in the tomato sauce and a little water.

Let them cook over medium heat for half an hour.
