400g cooked jasmine rice
4 tbsp red Thai curry paste
Juice of 1 lime
150g roasted peanuts finely crushed
Vegetable oil for deep frying
Salt
Sweet chilli sauce for dipping
Blend half the rice in a food processor until it’s not quite a paste.
Turn out into a bowl and combine with the remaining rice, the curry paste, lime juice and salt to taste
Mix it up really well
Roll the mixture onto balls (small enough to pop into your mouth, but big enough to get a good mouth full)
Now roll the balls in the peanuts and deep fry in hot oil until golden.
Drain on kitchen paper and serve with chilli sauce.
My advice is to make your own curry paste. Anytime I have made these (admittedly its only been twice) I have tasted the potential but not truly enjoyed the flavour and I think thats because bought curry paste is yuck so make your own.
