Method
Steam hake with ginger & garlic and add salt to taste. Drain, cool and set aside. Remove all bones, if necessary.
Boil potatoes until soft. Add salt to taste. Once cooled, peel off skin, mash and set aside.

Prepare the spice coating. In a bowl combine Pride of India Fish Spice, Pride of India Hot & Spicy Curry Powder, Pride of India Mixed Herbs and flour. Mix well and set aside.
In a separate bowl; combine hake, potatoes, fried onions, mint and coriander. Mix well.
Scoop ¼ cup (or more) of the hake mixture. Form into balls and flatten slightly. Repeat until the mixture is finished.
Dip each fish cake in flour, then in egg and coat fully with the spice coating. Repeat until all the fish cakes are fully coated.
