How to make Fish Cutlets:

Fish Prep:

Clean the fish and keep aside. The preferred fish for this dish could be King fish (Vanjaram)/Salmon. Take a wide pan/bowl and fill it with water. Put some salt and turmeric and get it to a boil. Now put in the fish and let it cook for a minute each side. Once you see the fish flaking out, that’s when you’ll know it is cooked. Take out the fish out of the water and let it cool. Then debone the fish and mash it.

Easier option: Pick up tin fish and directly mash it, as it is already pre-cooked

Cutlets prep:

Put in all the ingredients into the mashed fish and mix well. Do taste for salt and chilly. Please note all the powders/ingredients mentioned can be varied according to each ones’ taste. Once mixed well, prepare the shapes as shown in the picture or any shape that you prefer. Dip the cutlet in the egg and then coat it with bread crumbs. Let them rest in the fridge for half an hour before you fry them. These cutlets can also be stored in the freezer and like any frozen food can be taken out, thawed and fried. You can store them for at least 2-3 weeks in the freezer.

Once you let the cutlets rest for half an hour in the fridge, shallow fry them and serve them with your favourite dip.
