    Once again an excellent recipe by James Martin. In our one -horse town I could not find green chilli and substituted it with green pepper. What a discovery! Ooooh the smell while frying. Oooh the taste was awesome! Try this as an alternative to green chilli. You might just have a change of heart!

    I made these for the first time tonight and they were delicious and so easy to make. I added some lime juice and a small splash of fish sauce and a whole green chilli (seeds included) and they were perfect. I don't like things too spicy, but this really worked. I think it would have been too bland without the seeds. Anyway I served them with noodles and sweet chilli sauce! Yummy! Will be making these again for sure :)

    I had really high hopes for these after all the reviews but unfortunately I didn't enjoy them. The flavour was nice, (I put an extra chilli in as suggested by some others on here), and they were easy to make granted, but I found the texture so very strange! Perhaps I processed it all up too finely. Although they were moist they were sort of spongy in my opinion, so I don't think I'd make them again.

    These were glorious - fresh and so simple to make. They were the first thing I made from scratch when my husband had gone back to work after paternity leave and I was home alone with a tiny baby, and we loved them. I particularly liked the fact that I could whizz them up in minutes when baby was napping and just fry them off when required. Excellent!

    Really quick and easy, full of flavour and really moist. Even my 3 year old loved them! Will try cooking them in the oven next time, in bite-sized portions to serve as nibble with drinks.

    In the end, these were very tasty but like a couple of other reviewers I had trouble with the texture. After blending, the mix was too moist to shape. I had to add some breadcrumbs and toss in flour to achieve a workable mix. After that though (and another addition of thai curry paste) they turned out lovely.

    These were lovely. I took the advice and added some breadcrumbs! I also used basil instead of the corriander as I didn't have any and they still tasted fab. Did them with some homemade potato wedges and homemade coleslaw, all very quick, easy and tasty.

    These are amazing!! So So tasty and easy to make. I used chicken thighs and probably more ginger. I also seasoned with salt and pepper, used a red chilli and used ground coriander. They went down a treat and even had for lunch the next day. I think they would make a great starter or smaller ones at a buffet on cocktail sticks as suggested.

    Added a lot of ginger which gave it a kick. The recipe didn't specify salt/pepper and I didn't add any but I will next time. Could you make this with salmon/tuna? Very nice though!!!
