Goan Fish Croquettes

This is a yummy starter very similar to the Goan Beef Croquettes recipe that I had uploaded a couple of weeks ago...

Preparation time - 30 minutes

Cooking time - 20 minutes

Ingredients:

Fish - 500 gm

Chilli powder - 1 tsp

Turmeric powder- 1/2 tsp

Onions - 3, big, finely chopped

Spring onions - 3 green stalks

Dry red chillies -2

Curry leaves - 3

Ginger - 1'' piece

Water - 1 cup

Salt - to taste

Oil - 2 tbsp

Egg - 1

Breadcrumbs - as required

Method: 

1. Boil the fish along with water, salt, turmeric and red chilli powder. Allow it to cool for 7-8 minutes. Then de-bone it and keep aside.

2. In a kadai, heat 2 tbsp oil. Add the chopped onions, ginger, garlic, dry red chilli and curry leaves. Saute till the onions turn translucent.

3. Now, add the chopped spring onion stalks, coriander, cumin  and garam masala powders. Mix well.  Remove from heat. When cooled, blend to a fine paste.

4. In a bowl, take the de-boned fish, the blended paste, coriander leaves salt and the egg. Mix well. Roll them into sausage shaped croquettes.



5. In a kadai, heat oil. Roll the croquettes in breadcrumbs and release them slowly into the hot oil. Fry them till they turn golden brown.
