Spicy fish cakes with yellow rice

Spicy Fish Cakes with Yellow Rice is a flavorful and aromatic dish that combines the heat of red hot chili peppers with the fragrant essence of turmeric-infused basmati rice. This recipe features crispy fish cakes that pack a punch, making it perfect for those who enjoy a bit of spice in their meals. The coconut milk in the rice balances out the heat, giving the dish a rich and creamy texture.

Ingredients:

2 cups basmati rice
400g
1 tsp turmeric powder
5g
1 cup coconut milk
230g
1 dash salt
1g
12 oz white fish
340g
2 garlic cloves
6g
2 red hot chili peppers
80g
1 tbsp fish sauce
16g
1/2 cup coriander leaves
8g
3 tbsp olive oil
40g

Instructions:

3. Form the Fish Cakes:
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.
4. Cook the Fish 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.
5. Serve:
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.
