Ingredients

• 500 grams fresh white fish fillets
• 2 tablespoons coconut flour
• 1 large egg
• 2 stalks green onion
• 1.5 tablespoons curry powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
• 200 milliliters coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by finely chopping the green onions and set them aside.

Step 2

Cut the fish fillets into smaller pieces and place them in a food processor.

Step 3

Add the coconut flour, egg, chopped green onions, curry powder, garlic powder, red chili flakes, sea salt, and black pepper to the food processor.

Step 4

Pulse the ingredients together until they are well combined and form a smooth mixture.

Step 5

With wet hands, shape the mixture into small balls, about the size of a walnut, and set them on a plate.

Step 6

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 7

Add the fish balls to the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until the fish balls are golden brown on all sides, about 8 minutes.

Step 8

Pour the coconut milk and fish sauce into the skillet, gently stirring to coat the fish balls.

Step 9

Cover the skillet and simmer on low heat for 12-15 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly and the fish balls are cooked through.

Step 10

Serve the curry fish balls hot, garnished with additional chopped green onions if desired.
