What is Chicken Meatballs in Coconut Curry?
Chicken Meatballs in Coconut Curry combines seasoned chicken meatballs with a sauce made from coconut milk and curry spices. Coconut curries are associated with South and Southeast Asian cooking, but this particular combination is better understood as a broadly inspired dish than as a classic from one specific region.
The meatballs are tender, while the sauce is creamy, warmly spiced and gently sweet. Serve it over rice or with flatbread to soak up the curry; a crisp salad or simply cooked vegetables make a fresh counterpoint. It is a hearty, protein-rich main, with much of its richness coming from the coconut-milk sauce. For a lighter plate, use a modest amount of sauce and add extra vegetables.
