Ingredients:

Serving

1 kg medium raw prawns, peeled and roughly chopped
1 medium red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh coriander, chopped
1 large tomato, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 tsp minced ginger
1/2 tsp ground red chili pepper
75 g besan flour
1/8 tsp bicarbonate of soda
salt
2 cups vegetable oil (for deep frying)

Directions:

Pulse prawns in food processor-they need to just come together not turn into a paste!
Combine the prawns and remaining ingredients except the oil.
Using a tablespoon, measure out approximately 30 balls.
Using damp hands, roll each portion into a ball; place on a plate, cover with cling film until ready to use.
Heat the oil in a wok or heavy based frypan.
Fry 6-8 balls at a time until golden brown all over.
Drain on paper towels.
Serve hot with tomato and mint chutney.
