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.
