For Wheat Balls:
Knead with water to form into 1 to 1 1/2\" balls.
Fill a large pot halfway with water, bring to a boil, gently add balls to water and cook for about twenty minutes.
Check the inside of a ball to make certain that they are done. If so, they should not have clumps of flour on the inside.
For Sauce:
Bring tomato paste and lemon juice to a low boil, then simmer for fifteen minutes.
Meanwhile, fry onions in oil until cooked; add garlic and coriander and cook for another minute.
Add to tomato sauce and simmer for half an hour.
Pour sauce over kibbeh and serve.
