Ingredients

  • 6 green onions
  • 5 garlic cloves
  • 1 inch piece ginger
  • 3 long red or green chili peppers
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 3 kaffir lime leaves
  • 1 lemongrass bruised
  • 2 fresh basil leaves
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
  • coconut oil
  • 8 ounces ground chicken
  • 1/3 cup grated coconut fresh is best, but I used dried
  • 1 egg
  • 4 kaffir lime leaves crumbled fine
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 17 bamboo skewers or stalks lemongrass

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.
