- CURRY
- While meatballs bake, in a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 7 minutes. Add curry paste and cook, stirring, until paste is lightly toasted, about 1 minute more. Stir in milk, brown sugar, fish sauce, and lime juice.
- Add meatballs to skillet and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium to maintain a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce is just slightly thickened and meatballs are coated in sauce, 4 to 6 minutes. Add peas and cook, stirring occasionally, until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Top with cilantro, if using.
