  1. START THE SAUCE

    Place a pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add ½ the diced onion and all the pepper pieces and fry for 3-4 minutes until soft, shifting occasionally. Add the grated ginger and the curry paste (to taste) and fry for 1 minute until fragrant, shifting constantly. Add the curry sauce, the coconut milk, and 100ml of water. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 10-12 minutes until slightly reduced, stirring occasionally.

  2. GET HANDS-ON

    In a bowl, combine the mince, the remaining onion, and seasoning. Wet your hands slightly to stop the mixture from sticking, and roll into 4-5 meatballs.

  3. FRY ‘EM, CHEF

    Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the meatballs for 3-4 minutes until browned but not cooked through, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan and set aside.

  4. CRISPY & GOLDEN

    Return the pan to medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, shallow fry the poppadom for 30 seconds per side. As soon as the poppadom starts curling, use a spatula or tongs to flip it over and flatten it out. Keep flipping and flattening until golden and puffed up.

  5. BRING IT ALL TOGETHER

    Once the curry has reduced, pop in the browned meatballs and simmer for 3-4 minutes until cooked through, basting occasionally. In the final 2-3 minutes, add the shredded kale and the corn. Season with the lime juice (to taste), salt, and pepper.

  6. BOWL UP!

    Dish up the meatball curry. Sprinkle over the chopped cashews. Side with a poppadom. Get dunking, Chef!
