This recipe can be served as a appetizer or as an accompaniment to a main meal. A great treat for anybody, anytime!
TIP: The recipe produces far too much curry paste and then you only need to use a small amount. You might want to watch the video and decide to cut down on the curry paste ingredients. (Or you might prefer to pop out and pick up a 185g jar of Tesco Ingredients Red Thai Curry Paste – £1.69)
CORRECTION: The video says make the fishcakes 5mm thick – this should be 25mm!
