Instructions
Prepare spice mix. In a food processor (or if you have a mortar and pestle), combine all spices except lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, basil and cilantro. Add a bit of water if needed to help blend.
Heat 1 tsp of coconut oil in a frying pan and the spice mix, lemongrass, kefir lime leaves, basil and cilantro. Cook over medium heat until fragrant. Set aside and remove lemongrass.
Place the chicken in a big bowl, add coconut and kaffir lime leaves and egg and combine well. Add 2 tablespoons spice paste and season with salt. Mix until evenly coated.
Take a heaped tablespoon of the mixture, place it on your palm and spread gently using the spoon. Take a lemongrass and mould the mixture and press around. Heat a grill or grill pan or broiler and cook about 5 minutes per side. Serve with Sambal Ketchup.
