Soya Fish Frikkadels …a.k.a…Friggies

Being a vegetarian has taught me to be more adventures and to explore different flavours and textures.  I have been making this for years which has impressed many that set around my table.  Normally I add them to a spicy tomato and tamarind gravy which is absolutely fantastic.   These soya fish Frikkadels  are just perfect on their own served with some tangy mayonnaise. They also make a picture perfect starter, stacked on some sushi rice, slices of onion and tomato topped with a dollop of mayonnaise. How Friggie awesome is that!
