How to Make Indian Fish Cutlets

  • Dry roast onions till transparent.
  • Add garlic-ginger paste and chillies and fry for a minute.
  • Separate brine from fish and add all the spice powders, vinegar, salt, chopped coriander, and the fried onion-garlic-ginger mix.
  • Immerse a bread slice in a bowl of water and squeeze it between your palms.
  • Add this to the fish mixture and repeat with the other slices.
  • Mash the mix together firmly with your hand (taking palm-size and squeezing out through the fingers of your clenched fist each time).
  • If it is too dry, add some brine.
  • Make golf ball-sized balls and press gently in your palm; roll out along the edge to make a flat round cutlet.
  • Repeat with the remaining mixture and then roll each cutlet in the beaten egg followed by bread crumbs, dusting off any excess crumbs.
  • Shallow-fry till golden brown on each side. Serve with any sauce of your choice.
