Zucchini Balls

• 2 Zucchini Medium
• 1 Jalapeno pepper deseeded
• 2 Spring onions
• 1 inch Fresh ginger peeled & grated
• 1 Tablespoon Fresh coriander
• ⅓ cup Coconut flour

Coconut Sauce

• 1 inch Fresh ginger peeled & grated
• 2 cloves Garlic peeled
• 1 Red chilli Deseeded
• ¼ teaspoon Turmeric
• ¼ teaspoon Chilli powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin ground
• 1 teaspoon Coriander ground
• ½ cup Coconut cream (or half coconut milk)
• ½ cup Chopped tomatoes
• ¼ cup Fresh coriander Chopped
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil

Make the Sauce

• Place the chilli and ginger in a food processor. Add 3 tablespoons of water and blend to a paste,
  

• Heat the coconut oil in a pan and add the turmeric, chilli powder and coriander.
  

• Add the mixture from the blender and gently fry for about 5 minutes.
  

• Add the remaining spices, coconut cream and tomatoes and cook for about 20 minutes.
  

• Gently stir in the fresh coriander.

Make the Zucchini Balls

• Grate the zucchini and place in a colander (or sieve). Sprinkle with salt and leave for 30 minutes. (This is to remove the excess water).
  

• Squeeze the zucchini so that any excess moisture comes out. (I use a nut bag)
  

• Place in a bowl and add the remaining ingredients (except the coconut oil) and blend well.
  

• Form into balls (you may need to add more flour to shape them).
  

• Heat the coconut oil on a medium heat and fry the balls, turning them, until golden brown.
  

• Place the balls in the sauce and serve.
