1. For the patties, start with the ground meat, then mix in the rest of the ingredients. 2. Turn round and round until well mixed. If the mixture is too dry (it should be just right) add a teaspoon or so of milk or water. 3. Form fairly small patties (you'll have 7 or 8), and fry in a little oil in a pan, over medium-to-low heat, turning once, until brown on both sides. Remove to an oven dish and keep pan on the hob. 4. For the sauce, add oil to the same pan (there won't be enough left over). 5. Add the spring onions, garlic, ginger, cumin and pepper to the hot oil, and stir briskly for about half a minute, just to bring out the flavour. 6. Add the coconut milk, stir in the soy sauce and sugar, and add the nuts of your choice. 7. Let it simmer briskly, while stirring, for a short while -- it should thicken. 8. Ladle the sauce over the patties, OR serve the sauce separately. 9. Serve with rice (brown basmati is nice) and an Asian-type green such as chopped, steamed pak choy or tatsai or Chinese cabbage, seasoned with soy sauce instead of salt. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
