Recipe Ingredients

First of all, check if you have all the necessary ingredients for this recipe. Pay attention to the quantities!
  • 4-5 large slices of fish
  • 3-4 cloves of garlic
  • A pinch of turmeric powder
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 green chillies, finely chopped

Recipe Instructions

Next, follow the steps to finalize your dish and finally be able to enjoy it!

  1. In a vessel, boil the slices of fish with a pinch of turmeric powder, salt, whole cloves of garlic and a little water. The fish needs to be cooked through. Let it cool

  2. De-bone the fish, making sure that no bones are left behind. Its rather unpleasant to find a fish bone in a cutlet.

  3. Add the chopped onions, chillies, ginger and coriander leaves.

  4. Crack into this 1 egg.

  5. Soak 1-2 slices of bread in water for a minute and squeeze out all the liquid and add one slice, crumbled to the mix. Using your fingers, make sure that all the ingredients are mixed well. Try and form a cutlet, if it holds well, you’re good to go. If the mix is too moist, crumble the other slice of bread into it and mix well.

  6. Check for seasoning and adjust if needed.

  7. Shape little portions of the mix into tightly formed cakes or cutlets. Coat with bread crumbs

  8. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large flat pan and fry the cutlets on a medium flame till they are golden brown. Turn over and brown the other side as well. The fish is already cooked, all you want to do is let the cutlets get a nice brown color and in the meanwhile heat right through.

  9. Serve hot.
