Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 420g spiced meatballs
- 800ml yellow coconut curry sauce
- 400g can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 large green pepper, sliced
- 200g mangetout
- Jasmine rice, to serve
- Pickled red cabbage, to serve
- Small handful of coriander leaves, picked
Instructions
- Heat oil and brown meatballs: Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the spiced meatballs and fry for 6-8 minutes, turning regularly, until browned all over. The meatballs do not need to be fully cooked at this stage.
- Add curry sauce, chickpeas, and green pepper: Pour in the yellow coconut curry sauce, then add the drained chickpeas and sliced green pepper to the pan. Stir to combine.
- Simmer and reduce sauce: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and reduce slightly while the meatballs finish cooking through.
- Add mangetout and finish cooking: Add the mangetout to the curry and continue to simmer for a further 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
- Serve: Spoon the curry over cooked jasmine rice. Top each serving with a handful of pickled red cabbage and a sprinkling of fresh coriander leaves for a fresh, vibrant finish.
Notes
- You can prepare the spiced meatballs and yellow coconut curry sauce ahead of time or use store-bought versions for convenience.
- Adjust the cooking time for the meatballs depending on their size to ensure they are cooked through.
- For extra heat, add a pinch of chili flakes or fresh chili when adding the curry sauce.
- Pickled red cabbage adds a delightful tang and crunch, but you can substitute with plain red cabbage or a simple salad if preferred.
- Ensure rice is cooked according to package instructions for best texture.
