3 Green chillis
Handful of coriander, including the stems (plus extra for the meatballs)
Handful of basil leaves
10 Mint leaves
1 Red onion, roughly chopped
2 Limes, peeled and juiced
4T Fish sauce
3T Crushed coriander seeds, crushed
1T Cumin seeds, crushed
6T Canola oil
2 X 400ml coconut milk
500g chicken mince
200g Spinach or Swiss chard, roughly chopped
400g Tinned corn
300g Multi coloured beans

For the fragrant sprinkle:
100g Peanuts, roughly chopped
4T Desiccated coconut

  1. To the blender add the garlic, ginger, chillis, coriander and basil along with the mint, onion, lime zest and juice with the fish sauce, the spices and the oil.
  2. Blend to form a paste. Heat a large pan or wok over a high heat before adding the paste and frying until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  3. Pour in the coconut milk and stir through to form a sauce. Roughly chop the extra coriander and mix through the mince before shaping into small balls, just slightly smaller than a ping-pong ball.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium and add the chicken balls, simmer for 2 minutes before adding the spinach, corn and beans. Simmer for another 2 minutes before turning the heat off.
  5. Prepare the noodles according to the packet instructions.
  6. For the fragrant sprinkle: Add the ingredients to the pan over a medium heat and toast for a few minutes until golden and fragrant.
  7. Serve the curry over the noodles and top with the sprinkle before garnishing with the spring onions, basil and coriander.
