• 1 lb minced/ground pork
• 1 onion
• 6 spring/salad onions, finely chopped
• 3 (or more) cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 tbs coriander seed, dry fried and ground

• 1 tsp (or more) chopped fresh red chile
• salt and freshly-ground black pepper

Method

Place the potatoes, pork, onion, spring onions and garlic in a food processor. Process to a paste. Add the spices, chile, salt and pepper;mix well. Take a spoonful and fry to check the seasoning. Adjust as needed.

Beat the eggs and add enough to the meat/potato mixture to make a soft paste that can be shaped into dumplings, fritters,  or tiny patties. Heat enough oil in a heavy frying pan to cover the Meat Dumplings. Use a tablespoon or hands to shape the meat mixture. Fry them a few at a time until brown on both sides. Drain well.
