method
1. In a food processor, process the garlic, ginger and turmeric. Add the sugar, salt, chilli and fish or soy sauce, coriander and lime juice.
2. Add three-quarters of the cooked rice and process until smooth and sticky. Transfer to a mixing bowl and
stir in the remainder of the rice. Wet your hands and shape into thumb-size balls.
3. Roll the balls in chopped peanuts to coat evenly. Then set aside until ready to cook and serve.
4. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan. Prepare a tray lined with kitchen paper to drain the rice cakes. Deep-fry three cakes at a time until crisp and golden, remove with a slotted spoon, then drain on the kitchen paper before serving hot.
