Bringing together Indian spices and cool coconut relish, this street-food inspired dish is bursting with gentle chilli heat and fresh fragrant herbs. Quick and easy to prepare, and versatile, it’s great for a mid-week treat.
The method
- Roughly chop the fish into small pieces and put into a food processor with all the other kofta ingredients. Season well and pulse until combined. Mould into 20 small koftas and pop in the fridge to chill for half an hour.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine all the relish ingredients and leave to one side.
- Add a little oil to a frying pan and fry the koftas until cooked through – this will take about 3-4 minutes on each side.
- Serve immediately on the warmed flatbreads with the coconut relish.
