I found a recipe for Thai Red Curry Chicken Meatballs on Pinterest from the website ChefSavy.com; it looked absolutely delicious so I decided to give it a try. I made minimal changes to the recipe, added extra red pepper flakes. Next time I make it (and there will be a next time) I am adding fresh hot peppers to the dish.
Enjoy!
