Method

  • step 1

    Make the meatballs: mix the mince with 1 tsp curry paste and seasoning. Shape into walnut-size meatballs. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan. Fry the meatballs for 5 mins, turning until they are browned all over.

  • step 2

    Heat the remaining curry paste in a saucepan. Add the onion and fry over a low heat for about 5 mins, until soft – be careful not to burn the paste (add a splash of water if you need to).

  • step 3

    Pour in the stock and coconut milk, and bring to the boil. Turn the heat down to low and add the meatballs. Cook for 10 mins, or until the turkey is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly. Add the sugar snaps and tomatoes, and cook for another 2 mins. Scatter with the almonds and coriander, if you have any, and serve with rice.

Seen this and thought it would be a quick midweek meal that would use up some frozen turkey mince. Can’t say it’s a great recipe. Terribly thin sauce despite an age of trying to reduce it. Could do with reducing the amount of stock for sure. Ended up thickening with cornflour as to not waste it.…

this dish is good in flavour, but the recipe uses too much stock. I used only 250 ml and reduced the sauce for about 15 mins, ended up with a good consistency.

Now I am adding my comment I realise that had I read other people's comments before cooking this recipe I would have known that: a) the flavour was not strong enough, maybe I should have added some chilli powder, and b) the sauce was too runny. However the dish looked as good as the picture so…

Good but as said before to much stock so used corn flour to thicken up a deed small bit more paste and additional spice to flavour meat balls were flavoured great as well.

Way too much stock in the recipe meant it tasted too much of chicken stock and lost the spice. Rectified it by removing some of the stock and adding more coconut milk so probably wasn't quite as healthy. No turkey mince so used chicken mince, meatballs were really tasty.
