I have a special weakness for whichever dish bears the adjective “Thai”. I would probably try a stew of frog’s tripes if you told me it was “Thai”…or maybe not, but you know where I’m heading to 
These precious balls would be great as an appetizer, or as a party snack.
Ingredients:
- 350g – 12.35 ounces chicken minced meat
- 120g – 1/2 cup roasted peanuts (I roasted them in a non-stick frying pan without oil), chopped
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- 50g - 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp red Thai curry paste
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 3 kaffir lime leaves (I used the dried ones, and removed the central nerve of each of them), crushed
- 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
- 2 tbsp coriander, chopped
- 3 tsp brown sugar
- vegetable oil, to fry
- more Thai sweet chili sauce, to dip
Cooking instructions:
Could not be easier: mix all ingredients but the vegetable oil. Form balls with this mix of the size of large marbles.
Fry the balls in hot oil, until golden. And that is it!!
I served them with Thai chili sauce and accompanied with a salad made of Chinese cabbage, red pepper, cucumber, seasoned with a mix of brown sugar, fish sauce, lime juice, water in more or less equal quantities.
Enjoy!!
