prawns

🥗Healthier: chicken

💰Cheaper: fish

Chicken is often more affordable and still provides a good protein source.

coconut milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: regular milk

Almond milk is lower in calories and can mimic creaminess.

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: cornmeal

Whole wheat flour adds fiber, while cornmeal can be more economical.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier and can be used in a similar way.

1

Prepare the filling by sautéing chopped onion, garlic, and ginger in oil until fragrant.

2

Add chopped prawns, green chilies, and cook until prawns turn pink, about 3-4 minutes.

3

Stir in coconut milk and lime juice, then mix in chopped coriander leaves. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside to cool.

4

Make the dough by melting butter in a saucepan, then adding water and bringing to a boil.

5

Stir in all-purpose flour and mix until a smooth dough forms. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

6

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness.

7

Cut out circles using a round cutter or glass.

8

Place a spoonful of the cooled prawn filling in the center of each circle.

9

Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape, sealing the edges with a fork.

10

Dip each rissole in beaten egg, then coat with breadcrumbs.

11

Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat until hot.

12

Fry the rissóis in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

13

Remove and drain on paper towels before serving.
