Ingredients
- 10 g mustard paste
- 30 g mayonnaise
- 20 g breadcrumbs
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 400 g crab meat
- 20 ml oil
- 6–8 curry leaves
- 2 green chillies
- ½ tsp mustard seeds
- 1 inch ginger
- ½ tsp turmeric
- ½ bunch coriander leaves
Instructions
Beat the mustard paste, mayonnaise and bread crumbs in a bowl. Add the lemon juice and crab meat and mix gently. Do not puree the meat.
Heat oil in a pan and add the curry leaves, green chilli and mustard seeds. When they start to pop, take the pan off the heat and add the crushed ginger and turmeric. Pour the mixture over the crab meat mix and blend in gently for an even distribution.
Form 4 patties with the mix and pan fry, or if preferred, cook the patties in an oven until golden brown.
Serve immediately with fresh coriander, salad and a bread roll.
