Ingredients
- 500 grams White fish fillets (e.g., cod or haddock), boneless and skinless
- 2 tablespoons Curry powder
- 100 grams Low-fat plain yogurt
- 1 small Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 small Green chili, finely chopped (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander (cilantro), chopped
- 1 as needed Vegetable oil spray
Directions
Step 1
Cut the white fish fillets into chunks and place them in a food processor.
Step 2
Add the curry powder, low-fat plain yogurt, chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, green chili (if using), salt, black pepper, and lime juice to the food processor.
Step 3
Blend the mixture until it becomes a paste-like consistency but not completely smooth; a bit of texture is good for the fish balls.
Step 4
Transfer the fish paste into a bowl and stir in the chopped fresh coriander.
Step 5
Using your hands, form the paste into small balls, approximately the size of a golf ball.
Step 6
Spray a non-stick pan lightly with vegetable oil and heat over medium heat.
Step 7
Add the fish balls to the pan, ensuring they are not crowded. Cook on each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are browned and cooked through.
Step 8
Remove from the pan and drain excess oil on paper towels if necessary.
Step 9
Serve the Low Fat Curry Fish Balls warm, garnished with additional fresh coriander and a wedge of lime for squeezing.
