Instructions
To make fish cakes, place fish, ginger, garlic, turmeric and eschalot in a food processor and process to a smooth paste. Season with salt. Shape mixture into 8 x 5 cm-diameter rounds.
Fill a deep-fryer or large saucepan one-third full with oil and heat over medium heat to 180°C (or until a cube of bread turns golden in 10 seconds). Working in batches, fry fish cakes, turning halfway, for 6 minutes or until crisp and golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel.
Slice fish cakes in half horizontally, and place rounds in a bowl. Add remaining ingredients and, using your hands, gently toss to combine before serving.
