Ingredients:

1 large capitaine (catfish), filleted, boned and chopped
3cm length of fresh ginger, grated
1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 Maggi cube (or fish stock cube)
4 tbsp plain flour
oil for deep frying

Method:

In a mortar, pound together the fish, garlic, onion, ginger and Maggi cube until you have a smooth paste. Add enough of the flour to yield a dough that can be shaped. When you reach this stage, form the mixture into balls about 3cm in diameter.

Heat oil in a deep fryer or wok, add a batch of the fish meatball and fry for about 5 minutes, or until nicely browned on the surface and cooked through.

Drain on kitchen paper and serve hot accompanied by sweet potatoes or yams.
