Day 3 of the Fish Series features Sardine Patties which are based on the popular Malaysian bergedil or deep fried potato patties. The basic bergedil is made up of mashed potatoes and fried onions. To that one can add chopped cilantro, chilies, and spices. Often a little minced beef, chicken, or fish is also mixed into the patties to give them even greater flavor. I have decided to use the versatile canned sardines instead.

In Malaysia, sardines are regularly used as an ingredient in sambals, curries, pastries, and even sandwiches. There are two varieties of canned sardines. The tall cylindrical cans normally contain the larger fish while the smaller fishes are found in the flat oval cans. Over here, sardines come in flat rectangular cans in a variety of flavors. Two of these little cans make one oval can.

Recently, I discovered besan or chickpea flour. This gluten free flour is high in protein and has a nutty flavor. It is a good substitute for eggs when mixed with an equal proportion of water. Besan is frequently used as a coating or batter for deep fried foods like pakoras. For me it is a God sent because of gluten and egg sensitivities in the family.

    Your posts often make me smile – if I were in Minnesota and missing home, I think I'd be camped outside your door, wondering what you've cooked 😀 I was wondering, is the gram flour mixture for dipping the patties into before coating them in panko?

    Angie's Recipes – Thanks!

    denise@quickies on the dinner table – You are more than welcomed to come in 🙂 Oh…I guess I failed to mention that the gram flour mixture should be mixed into the potatoes in place of eggs to bind it together.

    Mother Rimmy – Thanks! Blogging is causing me to think out of the box a little…..

    denise@quickies on the dinner table – Sorry about the omission on the besan mixture. Many thanks for alerting me. I have added the step in a different font color.

    I love this. I get tired of making the same old thing. Lately I've been wanting to stretch myself a bit and try foods we don't normally eat. This looks delish!

    Would it work without the flour?

    5 Star Foodie – Thanks!

    Tigerfish – Most definitely! The besan mixture binds very well and vegans use this in place of eggs. You can use an egg instead, if you prefer.

    MaryMoh – Yes, it is pretty filling. I had 3 patties for lunch and it was just right 🙂
