  I'm saving these babies to serve for my parents' wedding anniversary, along with several other finger food recipes on the site. I'm not patient enough to mince chicken, and chicken mince seems hard to obtain, but I've found that Halal butchers tend to do it.

  Cant wait for another opportunity to make these again. We love chilli so I finely diced some fresh red chilli and it worked well.

  I made these with turkey mince as well, and they were a bit wet so I cooked them for a bit longer than it said and they came out just lovely. The other reason I think they took longer to cook was perhaps because they were larger than they should have been - think there's a mistake in the recipe as 4cm meatballs are quite large, and the mixture definitely doesn't make 30 of them at that size. Other than that, just gorgeous, guests loved them and I will definitely make again

  I thought this was a great recipe - it was easy to make and looked just like the picture - but served it to guests on two separate occasions and it wasn't popular either time. The first time one person liked it, the second time none did.

  I made these wonderful chicken meatballs as part of a family BBQ yesterday. They were definitely the star of the whole meal. As suggested, I made the mixture up the day before and left overnight in the fridge. I hadn't got enough lemon grass so added a good squeeze of lemon grass, ginger and coconut paste...yummy!
