In a bowl, combine ground beef, half of the minced garlic, curry powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well and form into 12 equal-sized meatballs.

Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Fry eggplant slices in batches until golden brown on both sides. Set aside. Fry potato slices until golden brown but not fully cooked. Set aside.

In the same skillet, sauté the remaining minced garlic with the onion and green pepper slices until softened, about 5 minutes. Set aside.

Brown the meatballs in the same skillet over high heat for 2-3 minutes until browned but not cooked through. Set aside.

In a measuring cup, whisk together water, tomato paste, tamarind paste, and sugar until well combined. This is your sauce.

Lightly grease a 12-inch round baking dish. Arrange half of the eggplant slices, followed by half of the potato slices, then half of the onion and green pepper mixture, and finally half of the tomato slices. Place half of the meatballs in between the tomato slices. Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients.
