Steps

• Step 1

  Cut the white fish fillets into chunks and place into food processor. (If you don’t have a food processor, you could also do this with a knife or cleaver and use a mixing bowl).

• Step 2

  To the fish, add the Thai red curry paste, thinly shredded (stem removed) kaffir lime leaves, 1 whole egg, fish sauce, cornstarch and coriander (cilantro). Pulse or blitz a few seconds. You don’t want too fine or too coarse, but just a little texture left. Remove cover and blade.

• Step 3

  Finely sliced your green beans and add to the food processor mixing by hand with a spatula.

• Step 4

  Heat up a frying pan with vegetable oil to approx 180°C or 350°F, use approximately quarter of an inch or half cm deep to cover bottom of pan.

• Step 5

  First wet your hands (so they don’t stick to the mixture), then using a tablespoon also dipped in water, scoop out a heaped spoon of the mixture and shape it into discs approx ¼inch or 5cm thick using your hands.

• Step 6

  Place in hot oil (don’t splash towards you, splash away from you) and cook until brown each side. Flip with a spatula or egg flipper, cook approx 2 minutes each side.

• Step 7

  Place on absorbent paper towel before serving.

• Step 8

  As an option, you can also fry some of the coriander (cilantro) leaves in the hot oil. They will become crispy. Also place on paper towel before serving.

• Step 9

  Serve with a side of dipping sweet chili sauce.

Little Tips

In Thailand they usually add a spoon of palm or white sugar. I prefer without as the chili sauce is sweet but it's fine to add it in if you prefer that sweeter taste.
