Ingredients:
1 kg medium raw prawns, peeled and roughly chopped
1 medium red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh coriander, chopped

75 g besan flour (chick pea flour)
1/8 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
salt

2. Combine the prawns and remaining ingredients except the oil.
3. Using a tablespoon, measure out approximately 30 balls.
4. Using damp hands, roll each portion into a ball; place on a plate, cover with cling film until ready to use.
