3. Finely slice the shallots and then in a shallow pan with the remaining oil, fry for 5 minutes or so until soft. Add in the curry leaves and all the seeds and fry for another minute then add in the curry paste and cook for another 5 minutes until all the aromatic smells come out.

    

4. Blanch the broccoli for a few minutes and add to the curry pan to coat. Stir in the coconut milk and bring to a boil. Stir in the protein balls and spinach and keep stirring until the spinach starts to wilt. 

    

5. Serve with the picked coriander leaves, extra chilli if you like it spicy, and fluffy rice if you wish.
