Ingredients

  • Haddock  -  600g
  • Potatoes  -  300g
  • Green Chilli  -  1 chopped
  • Coriander  -  3 tbs
  • Cumin Seeds  -  1 tsp
  • Pepper  -  1/2 tsp
  • Garlic  -  3 cloves
  • Ginger  -  2 pieces
  • Flour  -  2 tbs
  • Eggs  -  3
  • Breadcrumbs  -  75g
  • Vegetable Oil  -  For frying

Instructions

STEP 1

Put the fish into a lidded pan and pour over enough water to cover. Bring to a simmer and gently poach for 10 minutes over a low heat with the lid on. Drain and flake the fish.

STEP 2

Put the fish, potato, green chilli, coriander, cumin, black pepper, garlic and ginger in a large bowl. Season, add the rice flour, mix well and break in 1 egg. Stir the mixture and divide into 15, then form into small logs. Break the remaining eggs into a bowl and whisk lightly. Put the breadcrumbs into another bowl. Dip each fofo in the beaten egg followed by the breadcrumb mixture. Chill for 20 minutes.

STEP 3

Heat 1cm of oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the fofos in batches for 2 minutes on each side, turning gently to get an even golden brown colour all over. Drain on kitchen paper and repeat with the remaining fofos.

STEP 4

For the onion salad, mix together the onion, coriander and lemon juice with a pinch of salt. Serve with the fofos and mango chutney.
