Ingredients

• 500 grams Fish fillets (boneless)
• 2 medium Potatoes (boiled and mashed)
• 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger-garlic paste
• 2 medium Green chilies (finely chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves (chopped)
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper powder
• 2 large Eggs (beaten)
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 250 ml Oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Boil the fish fillets in water with a pinch of salt for 5-7 minutes, until cooked. Drain and flake the fish using a fork, ensuring there are no bones.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the flaked fish, boiled and mashed potatoes, chopped onion, ginger-garlic paste, chopped green chilies, chopped coriander leaves, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, salt, and black pepper powder. Mix well to form a cohesive mixture.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape each portion into patties or cutlets of your desired size and shape (round or oval).

Step 4

Dip each cutlet into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated, then roll it in breadcrumbs until evenly covered.

Step 5

Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, shallow fry the cutlets in batches for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp.

Step 6

Remove the fried cutlets from the oil and drain on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 7

Serve the fish cutlets hot with your favorite dipping sauce or chutney.
