  4. Add the meatballs and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer to a large pot.
  5. In the same frying pan over medium heat, fry the remaining onion for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the tomato paste (2 tbsp) and season with salt and pepper. Optionally add 1 tablespoon sugar. Stir well.
  6. Pour the boiling water (400 ml) into the pan and bring to a simmer. Pour the sauce over the meatballs.
  7. Simmer the meatballs over low heat for 10-15 minutes until cooked through. Serve with your favorite side dish.
