Peel the shallot and garlic and de-seed the chillies. Remove the leaves from the coriander and the stalks from the lime leaves and shred finely. Blitz all of these ingredients with the cod in a food processor to a rough paste and then add the fish sauce.

Shape the mix into 12 round patties.

Cook them in a frying pan with ground nut oil until golden brown. Turn them once after about 3 minutes and cook again for a further 3 minutes.

Serve immediately with the dipping sauce.
