1

Place the chopped spring onions, chillies, garlic, coriander, shrimp paste, turmeric, brown sugar, lemongrass (white part only) and grated ginger in a blender and blitz until a paste forms.

2

Heat the oil in a large heavy-based saucepan and sauté 3⁄4 of the paste for 1 minute or until fragrant. Add the salt, lime juice and coconut milk then bring to the boil.

3

Make the chicken meatballs by combining the rest of the curry paste with the chicken mince and coriander. Season well. Form the chicken mince into small, walnut- sized balls.

4

Add the chicken meatballs to the coconut curry and simmer, covered for 15 minutes or until cooked through.

5

Serve with a sprinkling of fresh chopped coriander, coconut flakes and steamed rice.
