Recipe: Thai Chicken Meatballs in Coconut Curry

Share the joy

There’s something about adding a little bit of heat to winter meals that works so well.  Thai dishes can be exactly what you need to warm the family’s bellies on these dreary, dark nights.In saying that, I’ve always been a little intimidated by Thai, I think that the inherent layering of aromatic flavours has always seemed a bit too complicated for me.  Cooking a curry from scratch is the best way to get over any feelings of Thai-inadequacy.  The ingredients are minimal, straightforward and they just make sense once combined, plus, there’s no fancy techniques or timings to master.  Using authentic ingredients in any recipe is a must, hence my inclusion of Trident products here.  Their Sweet Chilli Sauce (freaking amazing!) is made in Thailand but is also the top selling Sweet Chilli Sauce in New Zealand!  Yum.

Give this recipe a go, I promise you’ll love it and make it more than once!
