How to make it

Steps in our own plain words.

Put the fish into a lidded pan.
Pour over enough water to cover.
Bring to a simmer and poach for 10 min over a low heat using the lid on.
Drain and flake the fish.
Put the ginger, garlic, black pepper, cumin, coriander, green chilli, potato and fish in a large bowl.
Season.
Add the rice flour.
Mix well and break in about 1 egg.
Stir the mixture and divide into 15.
Form into small logs.
Break the remaining eggs into a bowl.
Whisk lightly.
Put the breadcrumbs into another bowl.
Dip every fofo in your beaten egg followed by the breadcrumb mixture.
Chill for 20 minutes.
Heat ½ inch of oil in a big frying pan over a medium heat.
Fry the fofos in batches for 2 min on each side, turning to get an even golden colour all over.
Drain on kitchen paper.
Repeat with the remaining fofos.
For the onion salad.
Mix the lemon juice, coriander and onion with a pinch of salt.
Serve with the fofos and mango chutney.
