FISH CUTLETS
INGREDIENTS
3/4 lb. fresh fish (Spanish Mackerel)- boiled with skin and bones removed)
2/3 cup cooked and mashed potatoes
1 large onion, minced
1 tsp. cumin seeds
1 tsp. pepper powder
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. lime juice (optional)
1/2 cup flour mixed with water to make thick batter
1 cup bread crumbs
2 cups vegetable oil to deep fry
METHOD
1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in frying pan. Add cumin seeds and onion and fry until light brown.
2. Add fish, potatoes, salt and pepper. Lower heat. Mix well.
3. Add lime juice if desired. Divide into 16 portions and shape into balls or flaten like paruppu vadai.
4. Dip into batter made from flour and water, and then into bread crumbs.
5. Set aside to rest a few minutes. Deep fry one at a time in hot oil until they turn golden brown. Serve hot with tomato or chillie sauce.
