Thai Fish Cake

Tod Mun Pla | Thai Fish cakes are a fantastic Thai street appetizer usually served along with cucumber shallot relish. They are so aromatic and rich in Thai flavors. The red curry paste and Kaffir lime leaves are the key ingredients for this Thai Fish curry. These are usually made by mincing any white fish fillets and combining them with all other ingredients. Adding Snake beans gives these fish cakes a crunch. Usually, in Thailand, these fish cakes are deep-fried, But here we are going to shallow fry them.
