An elegant starter of golden crab cakes with a dollop of zesty avocado dip.
Line a baking tray with baking paper. Combine crab meat, breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons coriander, 2 tablespoons mint, onions, lime rind and 2 tablespoons of lime juice in a large bowl. Whisk egg and sour cream in a jug. Add to crab mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Using clean hands, mix to combine.
