Recipe Ingredients

Combine all the ingredients in a food processor and chop until an even paste forms.
Roll level tablespoons into balls and chill in a single layer on a tray for 30 minutes to firm up.
Bring the stock to boil in shallow pan. Add balls, simmer, for 2 minutes, gently shaking the pan to move them around in the stock.
Gently remove with a slotted spoon and transfer into individual serving bowls immediately. Keep warm.
For the sauce, pour off the stock and in the same pan, cook the curry paste in until fragrant. Add the coconut milk, lemon juice and dhania. Pour this sauce over the warm fish ball portions, and serve.

Substitute crab sticks for 750 g skinless hake portions
