Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Cut the white fish fillets into chunks and place them in a food processor.
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.
Blend the mixture until it becomes a paste-like consistency but not completely smooth; a bit of texture is good for the fish balls.
Transfer the fish paste into a bowl and stir in the chopped fresh coriander.
Using your hands, form the paste into small balls, approximately the size of a golf ball.
Spray a non-stick pan lightly with vegetable oil and heat over medium heat.
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.
Remove from the pan and drain excess oil on paper towels if necessary.
Serve the Low Fat Curry Fish Balls warm, garnished with additional fresh coriander and a wedge of lime for squeezing.
