Notes

When adding the coconut milk and chicken stock, bring the mixture to a boil gently. Over-boiling can sometimes separate the coconut milk, affecting the texture and richness of your curry.
Wetting your hands before shaping the meatballs prevents the mixture from sticking and helps create a smoother, more uniform shape. This ensures even cooking and a better presentation.
