Gondi (go-n-dee), sometimes spelled as ghondi, or gundi,[1][2] is a Persian Jewish dish[2] of meatballs[3] made from ground lamb, veal or chicken[2] traditionally served on Shabbat. Dried lime is sometimes used as an ingredient.[4] Gondi are served as part of chicken soup served on Shabbat and other Jewish holidays, similar to their Ashkenazi Jewish counterpart matzo balls.
They are also sometimes served as a side dish, or as an appetizer. Accompaniments are Middle Eastern bread and raw greens such as mint, watercress, and basil.[5]
