I made these little beauties for a friend of mine who is on the Sure slim diet and they were a great success. There are no carbohydrates in them at all and I can tell you they are now in my quick and easy anytime recipe collection. They were really delicious and not being on a diet myself, will be making them often. (for 2 people)

What you need

400g chicken mince or chicken sausage meat
1 spring onion finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon crushed garlic
1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
pinch black pepper
palm of fresh parsley chopped
palm of fresh coriander chopped
pinch of red chili flakes

Lemon juice to finish

The process

Place the chicken mince in a bowl and add all of the ingredients except lemon juice.

Mix together well with a spoon or just dive in there with clean hands and mix together well.

cover and set aside in the fridge while you prepare whatever vegetables you are going to eat. i had a cuppa tea before I started the veg and the mixture was in the fridge for about 1/2 an hour.

You want to let the flavours linger before you cook the chicken.

Heat a little olive oil in a pan on a medium heat and make small balls that will easily fit into the palm of your hand, thread them on a skewer if you have. (wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking)

Cook them until they are nicely browned and serve with a squeeze of lemon juice, either with stir fried vegetables or a salad.

As a starter serve them with a sweet chili dipping sauce.

These are really fantastic could just as easily be used with beef mince.(not for dieters)

These Thai corn fritters are also a really fantastic Thai starter
