Tips and Inspiration

This is a delicious, rich and meaty curry that is absolutely delicious with plain rice. This recipe also works really well with minced chicken (if you choose to use, please finely chop the thigh meat). You may need to add an egg and extra crumbs to bind.  

Method

Step one

For the meatballs, mix all the ingredients together in a bowl until well combined. Form the mixture into walnut sized balls.

Step two

In a frying pan, heat the oil and brown the meatballs in batches and keep aside. You might want to fry a small ball first to taste for seasoning.

Step three

In the same frying pan, add the extra veg oil and fry the dried spices from the sachet for 10 seconds.

Step four

Add the Massaman paste and coconut milk from the two pouches and bring to a simmer. Add the stock and bring to the boil for 2-3 minutes.

Step five

Reduce the heat, add the browned meatballs with any juices. Simmer and cook for 8 minutes or until cooked through.

Please ensure food is cooked through and piping hot before serving.
