INDIAN STYLE FISHCAKES

These fishcakes are flavoursome with fresh coriander and mint, a hint of chilli and a spark of ginger.  Made completely with fish and no breadcrumbs or potato fillers they are protein-packed and delicious. Serve with some steamed rice, cucumber raita and a fresh salad.

2 cloves garlic

5cm piece ginger root, peeled and chopped

½ cup mint leaves

1/2  cup coriander leaves

1/2  cup coriander root

1 green or red chilli

2 tsp turmeric

2 tsp garam masala

Salt and pepper to taste

½ cup natural unsweetened yoghurt

500 g fish, chopped roughly

Place the first 9 ingredients into a food processor and blitz until finely chopped. Add the fish and yoghurt and pulse until finely chopped also.

Using wet hands form tablespoons of the mixture into patties. Place in fridge to firm up for 20 minutes or longer then shallow fry in a little oil.
