Preparation
Step 1
Pop all the ingredientsfor the meatballs into a bowl and mix well. I left it all for an hour to mingle thoroughly but you do not need to especially.
Step 2
With damp hands shape the mixture into balls – I made 16 from my mix which is dandy for 4 folk.
Pan fry them in a little olive oil until brown on all sides then remove from the heat and let them rest.
Step 3
For the sauce – heat a glug of oil in a wok or large frying pan and gently fry the onions, garlic and ginger for about 5 minutes. Then add the Thai curry paste, stir and fry gently for another minute or two. Then add the curry powder and mix well together.
Step 4
Serve up and enjoy!
