Servings: 12 no
Ingredients
- 1 fillet of salted Pollack
- 1 russet potato
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¾ cup chopped onion
- ½ Serrano pepper
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon turmeric
- ½ teaspoon coriander powder
- ½ tablespoon ginger garlic paste
- 2 teaspoon fish masala (use Cajun seasoning / your favorite fish seasoning)
- ½ cup panko bread crumbs
- ¼ cup peanut oil for frying.
- 2 tablespoon all purpose flour
- ¼ cup water
Instructions
- First soak the fish in water for 24 hours with 4 or more change of water to remove the salt from the fish.
- Boil the potato and fish separately and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in skillet and add chopped onion and serrano pepper cook until onion becomes translucent then add ginger-garlic paste and spice powders like cayenne pepper, turmeric , coriander powder and fish masala. You can use paprika and Cajun seasoning if you don’t want too spicy.
- Then add fish and cook for another 1 minute and then add mashed potato cook until everything combines well and form smooth dough.
- Then divide the dough into 11-12 equal sized pieces and hold in the palm and make it into cylinder shape. If you make cylinder shape that will help you to shallow fry them.
- Then coat them well with panko bread crumbs.
- Then dip them into all purpose-mixture and roll them in panko bread crumbs once again and set aside.
- In a skillet heat peanut oil and fry the croquettes make sure to flip gently on each side and fry them until it become golden yellow color.
- Since I used panko bread crumbs shapes are not uniform. If you use fine bread crumbs it will looks better.
- Serve with tomato ketchup or your favorite sauce.
