Kala Masala Shrimp Cakes

Kala Masala Shrimp Cakes

Masala - Kala
 is an Indian spice blend, named for the dark color of its ingredients, which are often toasted before use. Sweet spices like
Cloves
 and tangy
Amchoor
 make this blend an excellent seasoning on seafood, and especially good on shellfish.

We used
Masala - Kala
 as the signature flavor in these shrimp cakes, which have sweet potato and rice as the binder and a coconut crust. That also makes them gluten free, for those keeping score. The
Rooster Spice
 aioli, which we whipped up as a dipping sauce, takes no time at all. It's spicy and just a little bit sweet: the perfect accompaniment to these tasty appetizers.

Ingredients

For the Aioli:

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

For the Shrimp Cakes:
In a large bowl, add all of the ingredients for the shrimp cakes. Mix well until it's incorporated, then set aside.

For the Breading:
In a small bowl add the eggs and give them a whisk. In a second small bowl add the cornstarch. In a third small bowl add the salt, finely shredded coconut and rice flour, mixing well.

Shape all the shrimp patties to desired size using a round mold. Add the shrimp cakes to the corn starch until covered. Next submerge cakes in the eggs and shake off the excess egg. Last, dredge the shrimp cakes with the coconut and rice flour mixture, repeating until all the patties are covered.

In a large skillet on medium high heat, add half of the coconut oil. Carefully place the shrimp cakes in the pan and brown on one side for 3 minutes. After carefully flipping them over, add remaining coconut oil and cook that side for 3 minutes. Transfer them to a sheet pan and bake them for 8 minutes.

For the Aioli:
In a small bowl add the mayonnaise, water, lime juice and Rooster Spice and whisk until incorporated.

Serve the shrimp cakes hot with a dollop of aioli and cilantro leaves.


Notes:

Make these shrimp cakes larger and use them as a patty for a sandwich.
