What is your favorite snack? Mine all time favorite is Fish Cutlet. I like to eat it, but if you ask me whether I like to make it, answer is not much 🙂 . I always feel there is too much of steps involved in making cutlet. Since I used canned fish, I can say the work involved was little less, but even then I get tired at the end of making cutlets. I finally decided to make it to make my son eat Tuna fish. His doc told its good to give Tuna fish for kids. We get it in tinned form only here but he just doesn’t like to have it. I keep converting it in different forms but most of the time all my efforts are in vain. But me and my husband just loved it when I made cutlet with it and that’s when I decided to share the recipe. Check it out. It will become your favorite too.

 

Fish Cutlet Recipe

Ingredients: (Makes – 10 Fish cutlet)

• Fish – 150g (Refer note)
• Oil – 4 Tbsp
• Onion – 1 finely chopped
• Green Chilli – 1 or 2
• Red chilli powder – ½ tsp
• Turmeric powder – ¼ tsp

• Ginger garlic paste – 2 tsp
• Garam masala/fish masala – 1 tsp
• Potato – 1 medium-sized

( Note: I used one tin of 170g canned Tuna fish. If you are using canned fish, drain the salt water from it as much as possible and keep the fish ready. If you are using regular fish, sprinkle little water and boil the fish with ginger and garlic, little chilli powder and turmeric powder. Remove the bones from the fish and then mince the fish. Also vary the amount of chilli as per your spice level)
