Minced Chicken Curry
This delectable Thai minced chicken ball curry, with a zingy flavour is a firm family favourite. It can be made the night before. The flavours of the sauce will infuse into the chicken balls.

- To make the chicken balls, in a non-stick frying pan add 1 tbsp. coconut oil, sauté the finely chopped shallots until soft and translucent.

Once cooled add the chicken mince and mix thoroughly into the shallots and season with sea salt and white pepper. Add the egg, coriander and coconut flour and mix well until the mixture firms up. Divide the mixture into 12 balls and place on two plates.

- Add the minced chicken balls, pour over 200ml of coconut milk and cook over a medium heat for 30 minutes, then add the tenderstem broccoli and cook for another 10 minutes. You might want to add a little extra coconut milk at this point.
