Ingredients
- 500 grams white fish fillets (e.g., cod or haddock)
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 50 grams gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander, chopped
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 400 milliliters coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Cut the white fish fillets into small pieces and place them in a food processor. Blend until a smooth paste forms.
Step 2
Transfer the fish paste to a bowl and mix in the chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, egg, gluten-free breadcrumbs, fresh coriander, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
Step 3
Shape the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball. You should get approximately 16-20 fish balls.
Step 4
In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the fish balls in batches, frying until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Remove and set aside.
Step 5
In the same pan, add curry powder and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 6
Pour in the coconut milk and bring it to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Step 7
Add the fish sauce and lime juice, mixing well to combine.
Step 8
Return the fish balls to the pan, ensuring they are well-coated with the sauce.
Step 9
Cover and let simmer for 15 minutes, or until the fish balls are cooked through.
Step 10
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then serve the fish balls hot with the curry sauce over cooked rice or noodles.
