Finely chop the peanuts, peel the garlic, and press it through a mashed potato. Mix the fish sauce, curry paste, salt, and pepper with the garlic and chopped peanuts. Knead everything thoroughly with the minced meat. Form small balls from the meat mixture and roll them in the cornstarch. Fry in hot oil until golden brown on all sides, remove from the pan, and set aside. Clean the spring onions and bell peppers, slice them into rings or thinly slice them. Sauté both in the frying fat.
