Ingredients
1 lb. any fleshy fish
3 potatoes, boiled and mashed
1 level tsp turmeric
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp ground pepper juice of
1 lime
2 Tsp fish stock
1 egg, beaten well breadcrumbs
oil for frying
Method
Clean and boil the fish in lightly salted water. Remove bones (if any) and mash
together with the potatoes,chili powder, turmeric and pepper. Add enough
lime juice and stock to moisten. Add salt if required. Form into oval rolls,
dip in the egg then coat with breadcrumbs. Deep fry until golden. A similar
dish called bombils may be made using the above method. Here bombay duck,
soaked for 1 hour and then de-boned and mashed, is used instead of the fresh
fish.
