Grilled Cumin and Chile Veal Meatballs

This is a quick and easy dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. If you like spice, I would recommend increasing the red chile flakes slightly. I only had 340g veal, but kept most of the ingredient amounts the same, only decreasing the breadcrumbs slightly.
