Fish Cutlet or Machher Chop

Fish 'n' Chips

This is a favorite bengali snack….I learnt this recipe from my elders. In India we make various types of cutlets( with cooked mutton, fish or chicken). Fish cutlets are cooked with chopped onion, garam masala, green chillies and sometimes boiled potato is also mixed. Most of the Indian houses have their own recipe for cutlets. 

Lets start so that you can make fish cutlets at home easily

Ingredients

Fish 400 gms( I took rohu fish, any type of fish is fine)

Potato 1 large( boiled)

Onion 1 large (finely chopped)

Ginger/garlic paste 1 tablespoon

Turmeric powder 1/2 teaspoon

Coriander powder 1 teaspoon

Cumin powder 1 teaspoon 

Red Chilly powder 1/2 teaspoon or 2 to 3 chopped green chillies

Garam Masala Powder 1/2 teaspoon

Cornflour 1 teaspoon

Salt to taste

Egg 1( beaten and kept aside)

Breadcrumbs 1 to 2 cup 

Oil for deep frying

Fish Cutlet

Directions

Wash the fish properly. 

Boil and cook the fish with salt and turmeric powder.

Cool and de-bone them. Mash the fish with the boiled potato.

Now add chopped onion, ginger/garlic paste and mix well. 

Then add the dry masalas, salt and cornflour. 

Mash and mix well.

Now make small round balls of the cutlet mixture and shape into patties. 

You can make round, oval, heart shaped etc.

Now keep the patties in the refrigerator for 10 min.

Take them out and dip the patties in the beaten egg, coat it with breadcrumbs and fry.

If you want to avoid frying then bake them. 

If frying then fry both sides till golden.

Serve with chips, green chutney or ketchup.
