Fish Chop

Ingredients:

• 300 g boneless fish (such as cod, bhetki, or tilapia)
• 2 medium potatoes, boiled and mashed
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2-3 green chilies, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
• 1 tsp ginger-garlic paste
• 1 tsp cumin powder
• 1 tsp coriander powder
• ½ tsp garam masala powder
• ½ tsp turmeric powder
• ½ tsp red chili powder (optional)
• Salt to taste
• Fresh cilantro (coriander leaves), chopped
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 large egg, beaten
• Oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Fish Filling:

   • Poach the fish: Boil water in a pan, add a pinch of salt and turmeric, and cook the fish for 5-6 minutes until tender. Drain, remove any bones, and flake the fish with a fork.
   • Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
   • Add ginger-garlic paste and sauté for 1-2 minutes.
   • Stir in cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook for a minute.
   • Add the flaked fish and mix well. Cook for 3-4 minutes to combine the flavors.
   • Add chopped green chilies and cilantro. Stir well and let it cool.

2. Mix with Potatoes:

   • In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with the prepared fish mixture. Adjust seasoning if needed.
   • Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into oval or round patties.

3. Coat the Chops:

   • Dip each patty into the beaten egg, then roll in breadcrumbs to coat evenly. Repeat for a thicker coating if desired.

4. Fry the Chops:

   • Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Fry the chops in batches until golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
   • Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

5. Serve:

   • Serve hot with ketchup, mustard, or a spicy chutney. Garnish with onion rings and lemon wedges.
