Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Start by finely chopping the green onions and set them aside.
Cut the fish fillets into smaller pieces and place them in a food processor.
Add the coconut flour, egg, chopped green onions, curry powder, garlic powder, red chili flakes, sea salt, and black pepper to the food processor.
Pulse the ingredients together until they are well combined and form a smooth mixture.
With wet hands, shape the mixture into small balls, about the size of a walnut, and set them on a plate.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
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.
Pour the coconut milk and fish sauce into the skillet, gently stirring to coat the fish balls.
Cover the skillet and simmer on low heat for 12-15 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly and the fish balls are cooked through.
Serve the curry fish balls hot, garnished with additional chopped green onions if desired.
