Meatballs are combined with any side dish, although they can be served as an independent dish.
They are often confused with cutlets, but the difference is also quite significant. Firstly, meatballs are always round, not flattened. Secondly, if they are breaded, then only in flour, and not in bread crumbs. Thirdly, they consist not only of minced meat, but almost always have cereals in their composition (rice, millet, pearl barley, etc.). And meatballs are always stewed and always served with sauce, and more often right in it.
