thai fish cake

this is a belated entry.  i made these last week, not for the first time though.  i found few recipes online or in cookbooks but i prefer Rick Stein's recipe & method i saw on telly and had been using it since.

Ingredients

450g/1lb fish fillet skinned and cut into chunks (i normally use 2 medium sized haddock or frozen dory or  any white fish)

1 tbsp Thai fish sauce

1 tbsp red curry paste ( i used tomyam cube)

1 kaffir lime leaf, shredded very finely

1 tbsp chopped fresh coriander (leaves and stalks)

1 egg

1 tsp palm sugar or muscovado sugar

½ tsp salt

40g/1½oz French beans, sliced thinly into rounds (about 10 beans will do)

2 tbsp cornflour

groundnut or sunflower oil (or vege oil) for shallow frying

Put all ingredients (except oil) in a food processor  and process until smooth, then stir in the sliced green beans. divide into 16-20 pieces (depending on the size you want), roll each into ball and then flatten.

Heat the oil in a large frying pan and fry the fish cakes in batches for 1 minute on each side, until golden brown. Lift out and drain on kitchen paper, then serve with sweet chilli sauce
