Spicy Thai Chicken Meatballs

We made these Spicy Thai Curry Chicken Meatballs a few times now, but each time we would eat them before we ever got to take a picture. This time we sacrificed our hunger to take a few shots. We tweaked it a few times, but this is by far the best recipe yet. Just like many of our recipes, the spice level is to taste. Increase, decrease, or follow as directed, the heat level is up to you. 

This time we ate ours over jasmine rice (a Thai rice) but any kind works, and we think it is delicious with naan too… but I mean… what isn’t good with naan? Because we are trying to eat ‘a little’ healthier, they are also delicious without the carbs.
