YELLOW CURRY MEATBALLS

Lunch AND Dinner never looked so good! My husband and I had these YELLOW CURRY MEATBALLS for lunch served in some lettuce leaves with mint, sprouts and chilli and then we had them for dinner over a bed of steaming hot brown rice. Holy heavens this was epically good. We really enjoyed them as it was our first time eating curry meatballs and I can tell you it won’t be the last. My son who loves to make everything into a sandwich decided to make a curry meatball sandwich and added grated tasty cheese to it! Hahaha Maybe not for everyone but hey… who am I to crush his food creativity?

The sauce was the best part of cooking this meal, as it was effortless! Once again I used Yai’s Thai Sauce (and it won’t be the last), however this time I used their Yellow Thai Coconut Curry, which is milder than the Red. I love to point out that the ingredients are gluten free, whole30approved, vegan, low sodium and non-GMO. No preservatives or additives. You can grab their products online at https://shop.purenaturals.com.auor email them for a stockist near you. I know that these are available in the States and in Australia you can find them at several Banana Joes stores! Enjoy x
