1 tablespoon of fresh ginger, peeled and minced
1/2 tablespoon of garlic, minced
1 teaspoon coriander seeds, ground
1 teaspoon cumin seed, ground
1/4 teaspoon of turmeric
1 tomato, small dice
1 cup of crabmeat, carefully picked
2 medium shrimp, minced to a fine paste
2 limes, zested (chopped) and juiced
8 sprigs of cilantro, washed
1 tablespoon chives, chopped
1 egg, beaten
1 cup panko, available in Japanese specialty stores
Salt and pepper, to taste
Cayenne, to taste
Avocado Salad, see recipe below
4 cups baby greens
4 pappadums, available in Indian specialty stores
1/4 cup of tamarind chutney
2 avocados, diced into 1/2-inch cubes
1 lime, zested and juiced
3 plum tomatoes, 1/4-inch dice
1/2 cup of red onion, chopped fine
4 sprigs of fresh cilantro, thin chiffonade
1 teaspoon cumin seed, toasted and ground
Cayenne pepper, to taste
Fine sea salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Sugar, to taste

Steps:

  • In a large saute pan, heat one tablespoon of the corn oil. Add the onion, ginger and garlic and saute for 5 minutes over medium heat. Add the coriander, cumin, turmeric and the tomato and continue to cook until it turns dry. Remove from the heat and cool down. In a large mixing bowl, combine crabmeat, the cooled onion mixture, shrimp, lime zest and juice, cilantro, chives, beaten egg and 3 tablespoons of the panko. Season with salt, pepper and cayenne. Mix well so that all the ingredients are well incorporated. Test a small quantity by forming a teaspoon of this mix into a small patty and frying it in a pan. Adjust the salt and pepper if necessary. Divide this mixture into 4 equal portions. Form into balls and flatten to form small patties. Put the rest of the panko on a cutting board. Place the patties one at a time in the bread crumbs. Heat a heavy bottomed skillet large enough to hold the crab cakes on medium heat. Add the oil and fry the crab cakes. When the cakes turn a light golden color, flip them over and cook them on the other side until they are light golden in color. Using a slotted spatula, remove and drain on a paper towel Take 4 large plates and place the baby greens in the centers and a pappadum on top of the greens. Fill each pappadum with a scoop of avocado salad and top with a crab cake. Spoon the tamarind around the plate.
  • In a large bowl, combine the diced avocado with the juice and the zest of the lime. Add the tomatoes, onion and cilantro. Mix well, taking care not to smash the avocado and the tomatoes. Next add the cumin, cayenne, salt, pepper, extra virgin olive oil and sugar. Taste and season if necessary. Refrigerate until ready to use or at least two hours.

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Starter

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

100g white crabmeat
2 spring onions , finely chopped
1 red chilli , deseeded and finely chopped
small pack coriander , leaves only, finely chopped, plus extra for serving
2 tbsp sesame seed
50g fresh breadcrumb
1 large egg yolk
sunflower oil , for frying

Tips:

  • Choose fresh crab meat. Fresh crab meat has a sweet, delicate flavor that will shine through in the crab cakes. Avoid using frozen or canned crab meat, as it will have a less intense flavor and may be more difficult to work with.
  • Use a light touch when mixing the crab cakes. Overmixing the crab cakes will make them tough. Gently fold the ingredients together until just combined.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the crab cakes. Give the crab cakes plenty of space so that they can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the crab cakes will steam instead of fry and will be less crispy.
  • Serve the crab cakes hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Tamarind mayonnaise is a classic dipping sauce for crab cakes, but you can also use other sauces, such as tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, or remoulade.

Conclusion:

These spiced crab cakes with tamarind mayonnaise are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. The crab cakes are made with fresh crab meat, panko breadcrumbs, eggs, mayonnaise, and a variety of spices. They are pan-fried until golden brown and served with a tangy tamarind mayonnaise. These crab cakes are sure to be a hit with your family and friends!
