- Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and fry until browned on all sides. Transfer the meatballs to a plate.
- Fry the onions with the butter in the same skillet until softened, 5 minutes, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the curry powder and flour and cook for another minute. Whisk in the chicken broth, bring it to a simmer, whisking constantly until thickened. Whisk in the coconut milk. Return to a simmer. Add the mango chutney, salt and pepper.
