👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
In a bowl, combine flaked fish, mashed potatoes, chopped onion, green chilies, ginger-garlic paste, chopped curry leaves, turmeric powder, coriander powder, grated coconut, and salt. Mix well until everything is thoroughly combined.

Shape the mixture into small, flattened cutlets or patties. Aim for a uniform size for even cooking.
💡 Conseils de pro: If the mixture is too sticky, lightly wet your hands. - 3
Prepare the tamarind chutney: In a small saucepan, combine tamarind pulp, jaggery or sugar, red chili powder, cumin powder, and water. Simmer over low heat, stirring until the jaggery dissolves and the chutney thickens slightly.

Dip each cutlet into the beaten egg, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, coat generously with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
💡 Conseils de pro: Double coating with egg and breadcrumbs will result in a crispier cutlet. - 5
Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat for shallow frying. Carefully place the coated cutlets in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

Fry the cutlets for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Serve the hot fish cutlets immediately with the prepared tamarind chutney.
