Deep-fried Tapioca Patties

Ingredients

200g tapioca, cleaned and peeled
100g chicken, roughly minced
60g minced prawns
35g chopped onion
2 tbsp finely chopped carrot
1/8 tsp salt
Dash of freshly ground black pepper
¾ tsp white pepper
½ tsp chilli powder
½ tsp chicken stock granules
1 tbsp chopped coriander leaves
Oil for deep-frying

Method

Cut the tapioca into small pieces then put into an electric blender. Add just enough water and blend until fine. Remove and put tapioca pulp on a piece of clean muslin cloth. Squeeze out excess liquid.

Mix tapioca pulp, minced chicken and prawns, carrot and onion together in a mixing bowl. Add salt, pepper, black and white pepper, chilli powder and chicken stock granules. Mix well then add coriander leaves. Shape mixture into walnut-sized balls, then flatten them into patties.

Heat 2-3 tablespoons oil in a non-stick saucepan and pan-fry the patties in batches, turning them over occasionally until golden brown. Drain on crumpled paper towels and serve immediately.
