FISH CUTLET

As it is the month of Ramadan, and numerous snacks are made everyday for Iftaar, to make something new and different is always the quest..!! Chicken, mutton, potatoes and paneer are commonly used items to make Ramadan snacks, but here is something with seafood...

Me, being from Konkan side, I have a craze for seafood, and by now you must have made this out from my blogs too.. This recipe is something that tangles my taste buds, especially since fish is hardly made at my home during this month.

You can use any fish for making these cutlets. I use Surmai or Rawas. Alternatively you can also use canned tuna fish. You can also use these cutlets to make fish rolls or in sandwiches.

Ingredients :

• Fish, boiled, deskinned and mashed - 500 gm

Method :

• 
  Remove the ends of the bread and soak in water, and squeeze the water out completely.

 

• Add the bread in the fish mixture and mix well.

 

• Shape the mixture into round cutlets and press them between you palms.

 

• Dip the patty in beaten egg one by one and coat it with bread crumbs.
