    I make these all the time, they are a favourite of my 15 year old son. For his birthday party I made small bite size ones with a sweet chilli dip....they went down extremely well with everyone.

    These were brilliant! I'm so impressed how the patties held together without any egg/breadcrumbs whatsoever. I did put them in the fridge while I prepared the side dish, not sure if that made a difference. Served it with a Thai noodle salad. Fabulous!

    Absolutely delicious - my 10 and 13 years olds loved this recipe so it's good for everyone. It's got enough spices to be interesting whilst retaining a delicate balance of flavours. I am thinking of doing this in small little cakes for a party.

    This recipe is anbsolutely beautiful.....sooo tasty. I've lost count the number of times I've made this for a dinner party and my guests always ask for the recipe. I've adapted it slightly to give it a bit of extra flavour. I also added lemon juice, red thai curry paste, cumin, tumeric, capers and salt & pepper. I dusted them in seasoned flour and put them in the fridge for a couple of hours before I fried them. Oh and I added prawns, I love this dish
