This is a really quick to prepare French dish if using pre-made meatballs. In essence it's meatballs in coconut milk flavoured with mild curry spice and plenty of paprika.

Ingredients:

500g pre-made meatballs
1 handful of cashew nuts
250g peeled and diced tomatoes
1 tsp ground cumin
200ml coconut milk
1 tsp ground ginger
2 tbsp of olive oil
1 teaspoon paprika
50ml of water
1 tsp curry powder
Parsley, coarsely chopped, to garnish (about 2 tbsp)
Salt, to taste

Method:

Place a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once hot add the oil and use to fry the meatballs stirring often, until browned all over.
