Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 kaffir lime leaves, snipped into thin strips with scissors
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • 1 thumb-size piece of ginger, grated
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 2 red chillies, chopped
  • 500g white-fleshed fish fillets, skinned and boned
  • 5 tbsp coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp fish sauce    
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp palm sugar

Instruction

  • <p>Place the lime leaf strips, green onion, ginger, garlic, and chillies in a food processor and pulse to make a thick paste. Cut fish into chunks and add to the food processor with the coconut milk, fish sauce, cumin, coriander and sugar and process to a firm paste.</p> <p>Using your hands, take a small ball of paste, pat it into a fish cake shape and set it on a clean plate. Repeat with the remaining mixture. While making the cakes, rinse your hands every so often with cool water to stop the paste from sticking.&nbsp;Put the plate of fish cakes in the fridge for 10 minutes to firm up.</p> <p>Preheat a barbecue plate and oil lightly. Place the cakes on the barbecue and fry for 30 seconds to one&nbsp; minute before turning. Fry until golden-brown and drain on paper towel. Serve immediately with your favourite chilli sauce or some finely sliced chilli and coriander.</p>
