    Loved the taste and texture of these Thai patties. The only thing the recipe omitted was salt and next time I will add some. I also pre-cooked them and then 10 minutes before serving I popped them into a hot oven and they were lovely and light.

    Made these as a starter last night..YUM!! I added salt and black pepper to the mixture and they came out really well. I also added some steak seasoning which gives them a bit of extra kick and flavour. Will make these next week for a dinner party!

    These were lovely - very easy and quick. May try the suggestions included in these comments of adding some spices next time to see if there's an improvement but didn't seem necessary

    Fantastic starter, everyone had a couple of cakes each which was plenty! Although i wanted more! The only change i would make would be to use red chilli's to add some more colour

    I don't have a food processor so instead of chicken I used ready minced turkey and added some garam masala - I loved these. I have done them several times already and served them as a main with rice or noodles. I have also put fried up some mushrooms and put those in as well - yummy!

    I've only recently started cooking as a hobby and tried this recipe for an evening meal - it was easy to do, and delicious to eat. Might try and make smaller bites for entertaining over the holidays.

    Thought these were really tasty, although i realised i didn't have any coriander so left out the ginger and chilli sauce, and used parsley instead, dipping it in lemon mayonnaise. yum. a little springy texture-wise which isn't my favourite, but lovely overall.

    What a crowd pleaser! The compliments kept coming. We don't have a food processor so made the mixture by hand, which I can attribute the firmness of the cakes. This was served as a starter and a squeeze of lime and some chilli on top really complimented the flavours. Do not omit these (well the lime at least otherwise it's too dry). Was not amazing cold (had a little leftover for lunch) but perhaps if I'd looked at the advice on here and added ground spices that would've helped.

    These are lovely. They are easy to make and can be prepared ahead if you want them for a dinner party. I'm going to try adding an extra spice or 2 and then maybe they will be worthy of 5 stars. I did find that dusting them in flour before cooking helped give them a crispier coating.

    I made these as a mid-week meal with sweet potato wedges that i roasted in a chilli dressing. The whole meal was absolutely delicious. I am going to try them as a smaller bite size version to take to a barbeque at the weekend.

    Absolutely delicious flavour. Used leftover chicken from a roast BAD IDEA!!!! Texture in a food processor was awful. IF using ready cooked chicken again just chop by hand unless you have no teeth!!! will definately be making again but use raw chicken to put in food processor. Sweet chilli dipping sauce compulsory.

    These were lovely and enjoyed by everyone. We had them as a starter followed by a thai red curry and the two really worked. They are messy to make but worth the effort.
