Coconut Chicken Meatballs & Courgette Curry With Cauliflower Rice
This carb smart recipe replaces half the white rice for cauliflower rice. This nourishing curry is big on flavour, not on effort. You'll simmer juicy chicken meatballs in a rich coconut masala sauce with courgette and a squeeze of fresh lime. Ready in 20, this is feel-good comfort at its finest.

Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Boil half a kettle and peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic
Zest half your lime[s] (try to grate lightly with a micro-plane or sharp box grater and avoid grating the white pith, as this is very bitter) and combine with your chicken mince, half the chopped garlic, half your ginger paste and half your garam masala (you'll use the rest later!), a generous pinch of salt and pepper and a drizzle of olive oil
Divide and shape into meatballs (6 per person!) – these are your chicken meatballs
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick with a matching lid) over a high heat with a drizzle of vegetable oil
Top, tail and chop your courgette[s] into quarters lengthways, then chop into small bite-sized pieces
Once hot, add the chicken meatballs and chopped courgette and cook the meatballs for 2 min on each side or until browned
Tip: Cooking for 3 or more? Use 2 pans!
Meanwhile, add your white long grain rice and cauliflower rice to a pot with a lid with 110ml [175ml] [225ml] cold water and bring to the boil over a high heat
Once boiling, reduce the heat to very low and cook, covered, for 12-15 min or until all the water has absorbed and the rice is cooked
Once done, remove from the heat and set aside (lid on) to steam until serving
Once the meatballs are browned, transfer the browned meatballs to a plate and set aside
Return the pan[s] to a medium heat and add your curry powder with the remaining chopped garlic, the remaining garam masala and remaining ginger paste
Chop your creamed coconut roughly (if required!)
Add your tomato paste and creamed coconut and give everything a good mix up
Roll your lime[s] with your hand on a hard surface (to release more juice) and cut in half
Add the juice of half the lime with 1 tsp [1 1/2 tsp] [2 tsp] sugar
Add your chicken stock mix with 250ml [300ml] [400ml] boiled water and bring to the boil over a high heat
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium, top with the browned meatballs and cook, with the lid on, for 10-12 min or until the meatballs are cooked through (no pink meat!) and the sauce has thickened – this is your coconut chicken meatballs & courgette curry
Season the coconut chicken meatballs & courgette curry with a pinch of salt and pepper
Cut the remaining lime into 1 wedge per person
Serve the coconut chicken meatballs & courgette curry with the rice to the side
Tip: For fancy presentation, press the rice into a small bowl and turn out
Garnish with a lime wedge
Enjoy!
