Recipe Notes
Additional Tips
- For a firmer texture and easier shaping, chill the potato-fish mixture in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before forming the balls; this also helps them hold their shape during frying.
- If you prefer a gluten-free option, substitute the whole wheat breadcrumbs with crushed rice flakes (poha) or gluten-free panko for a similar crunch.
- Enhance the spicy peanut sauce by stirring in a teaspoon of tamarind pulp or a splash of lime juice—this will add extra tanginess and balance the richness of the fish balls.
- To serve as a party appetizer, skewer each ball with a toothpick and drizzle a little peanut sauce on top, then garnish with finely chopped fresh coriander and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds for visual appeal and added flavor.
