Preparation
Step 1
Clean, wash and marinate fish pieces with ginger-garlic paste, pepper powder, turmeric powder, lime juice and salt for half an hour.
Step 2
Pan-fry it in oil and drain it on a tissue paper to remove excess oil. Allow it to cool.
Step 3
Break the fried fish into small pieces using hand and mince these pieces in a mixer (just rotate it for 2 or 3 seconds).
Step 4
If we are using prawns, just fry it and mince it in a mixer, no need to break it into small pieces before mincing.
Step 5
Keep the fried and minced fish aside.
Step 6
Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a pan.
Step 7
Add chopped onion, ginger, green chillies and curry leaves and cook well by adding salt.
Step 8
Add mashed potato, pepper powder and garam masala and mix it well with the onion mixture.
Step 9
Add minced fish and Stir everything together thoroughly.
Step 10
Remove it from fire and allow it to cool.
Step 11
Beat well the eggs by adding little salt.
Step 12
Make balls out of the cutlet mix and shape it into oval shaped cutlets.
Step 13
Dip the cutlets in beaten egg, coat it evenly with bread crumbs and fry it in oil.
Step 14
Serve while still hot with tomato sauce.
Tip
Drain on a wire rack instead of paper towels — the rack keeps the bottom from getting steamy and losing its crispness.
