START THE SAUCE
Place a pot for the curry over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, sauté ¾ of the diced onion for 2-3 minutes until soft and translucent. Mix in ⅔ of the curry paste (or to taste) and fry for another minute until fragrant, shifting constantly. Add the pumpkin pieces and fry for 2-3 minutes, shifting occasionally. Pour in the coconut milk and stir to incorporate. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pumpkin is tender and reduced to your preference.
GET HANDS-ON
In a bowl, combine the mince with the Thai spice to taste. Mix in the remaining onion to preference and season to taste. Wet your hands slightly to stop the mixture from sticking, and roll into 4-5 meatballs.
ROASTIN ON THE RIVER!
Place a nonstick pan over a medium-high 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 on completion and drain on paper towel.
FINAL TOUCHES
Once the curry has thickened and the pumpkin has softened, mix in some more curry paste if you’d like it spicier. Pop in the meatballs and simmer for 3-4 minutes until cooked through, basting occasionally. In the final 1-2 minutes, stir through the shredded spinach, ½ of the chopped coriander and cook until wilted. Season to taste with lemon juice, the lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Remove from the heat on completion.
HURRY, IT’S THAI CURRY!
Serve up some Thai curry and meatballs. Scatter over the diced pickled peppers, sesame seeds, and remaining coriander. Garnish with a lemon wedge and dive in!
