Step 1

Cut the fish into small pieces and then grind it up in a food processor, or pound it in a mortar and pestle until it's a paste.

Step 2

Transfer to a large mixing bowl, and add the rest of the ingredients (except the oil). For a more spicy taste, add a bit more red curry paste.

Step 3

Using your hands, knead the mixture until it’s sticky enough to mould it into a disc about 2 inches wide and ½ inch thick.

Step 4

Heat the oil in a wok or frying pan at a medium or high heat. Add the fish cakes and fry until they are golden brown on both sides.

Step 5

Remove the fish cakes with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels.

Step 6

Serve with chilli sauce for seafood.
