RED CURRY FISHCAKES RECIPE

2 lb fish fillets such as cod, haddock, shrimp, etc
1 egg beaten
2 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
red curry paste
1 bunch scallions, finely chopped
vegetable oil for deep frying

1.
Add the fish, egg, cilantro, and curry paste into a blender or food processor and
puree until smooth and well blended.

2.
Next move the mixture to a bowl, and add the scallions and mix well until
combined.

3.
Using only 2 tablespoons of the fish mixture at a time, shape into balls and then
flatten slightly with your hands to make a cake.

4.
Heat the vegetable oil in a preheated wok or skillet until hot. Only add a few of the fishcakes
to the hot oil and deep-fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until brown and cooked
through. Remove from pan to drain on paper towels and keep warm while
deep-frying the rest of the fishcakes

Great looking recipe, I'm going to try it very soon. One question about this. Your say to just use a skillet, but I'm wondering if I could use a Deep Fryer (http://www.katom.com)? I have one that I just don't use enough and I love Indian food. this looks like a great opportunity to use it. Another question, do you have a curry powder that you could suggest. I know that some people can really tell the difference with different types of curry, but I'm not there yet.

It's a curry PASTE, not a powder, abanynini.
Like this: http://www.amazon.com/Thai-Kitchen-Curry-Paste-4-Ounce/dp/B000LKVSDM

My recipe is a bit different from his, but does give deep frying directions..
Heat oil to 375... fry a few at a time until browned, about 4-5 minutes.
Personally, I think this is too long, and 3-4 is probably just fine.

(My recipe adds a cup of fresh green beans, chopped and some other flavorings. It is more Thai/Vietnamese than Indian...)
The green beans give them a nice little crunch and taste!)

Nice one with the embedded restaurant supplies link. :D
