Ingredients:
Instructions:
1. Using your hands, shape the fish mixture into small patties, about the size of a golf ball, and flatten them slightly to form cakes.
1. In a large skillet, heat 3 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat.
2. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the fish cakes to the skillet in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to do this in batches.
3. Cook the fish cakes for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to flip them carefully.
1. Serve the hot and crispy fish cakes over a bed of the flavorful yellow rice.
2. Garnish with additional fresh coriander leaves if desired.
Tips:
- Ensure the white fish is thoroughly deboned and cut into small pieces for easy blending.
- Adjust the number of chili peppers based on your spice tolerance.
- Mix the fish cake mixture well to ensure even distribution of flavors.
- Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to make it easier to shape the fish cakes.
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the fish cakes from sticking.
- Cook the rice on low heat to avoid burning and ensure it absorbs the coconut milk fully.
