- In the same cleaned pan, heat 2 Tbsp oil. Add onions, garlic, ginger, green chilly and saute´ well till onions are softened and the mix turns golden.
- Add the mashed, salted potato and stir fry all together shortly till well coated.
- Now add the fish and stir gently. Careful not to mash the fish too much.
- Form into flattened oval patties with hands. Arrange on a tray.
- Beat the egg well in a shallow bowl. Place the breadcrumbs in another shallow bowl.
- Dip each patty first in egg wash, then the breadcrumbs, coating completely and evenly.
- In the same cleaned pan used earlier, heat sufficient oil to shallow fry the patties to a medium heat (not high)
- fry the pattys on one side, undisturbed for 2-3 minutes or till nice golden brown. Flip over gently with spatula.
- Fry the same on the other side. Drain on kitchen towels.
