Place chicken mince with 1 Tbsp Seven Colours Grill SeasoningTM, garlic powder, onion powder, crushed chilli, ¼ cup coriander, egg and breadcrumbs in a bowl. Mix until well combined and divide to create medium-sized meatballs.

Heat 2 Tbsp oil and fry the meatballs over a medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes a side. Remove from the pan. Alternatively, the meatballs can be cooked in an air fryer for 10 to 15 minutes at 200 degrees.

Add curry powder, cumin powder, coriander powder and turmeric. Allow spices to toast for a few seconds before adding ½ cup of water and mixing well. Once the water cooks out and a paste is formed, add the tomato paste and tomatoes.

Cook for 10 minutes over a medium heat.

Pour in the coconut cream and add chicken meatballs into the sauce.

Cook over a low heat for a further 10 minutes.

Remove the cinnamon stick and garnish with fresh coriander.
