Fried fish cakes make a great snack on their own dipped in either with a cucumber relish (recipe below) or sweet chili sauce or sriracha. Ground fish is spiced with fresh kaffir lime leaf and red curry paste and fried. You can make your own red curry paste or you may use ready-made. Serve as an appetizer or along with any rice-based meal.
Fish cakes are traditionally made in Thailand with a type of ocean fish known as featherback fish, but you may substitute any firm white-fleshed fish, such as cod. Fish cakes are also traditionally pounded by hand but a food processor can speed up the task, though the texture will not be quite the same.
