Nadia Sawalha's Komforting Korma Balls

INGREDIENTS:
500g chicken mince
4 tbsp chopped fresh coriander or parsley
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
Salt and pepper
2 tbs plain flour
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves
2 tbsp korma curry paste
175ml coconut milk
500ml chicken stock
16 cherry tomoatoes
1 tbsp blanched or flaked almonds

RECIPE:
1. Make the meatballs by putting the mince, fresh herbs, ground coriander, cumin and a good pinch of salt/pepper into a bowl - mix thoroughly. Then wet your hands (it stops the meat from sticking) and shape them into balls. Roll each ball in flour.

2. Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Fry the meatballs until they're sealed (brown all over). Take them out with a slotted spoon and set them aside.

3. In the same pan - save on the washing up! - fry the onion over a low heat until softened, then add the garlic. Still over a low heat, add the korma paste and fry for another minute or so. Pour in the coconut milk and stock and bring it up to bubble, then turn the heat down low, add the meatballs and gently cook for 10 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through -- popping in the cherry tomatoes for the last few minutes, so they just soften and split.

4. Serve on cooked rice with a sprinkling of fresh herbs and almonds on top.
