Spicy Indian Fish Koftas Recipe
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Prep Time: 2 hours
Total Time: 2 hours 40 minutes
Servings: 16 koftas
Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 450g | Fish |
| 4 | Onions |
| 1 | Ginger |
| 1 | Garlic paste |
| 1 | Bunch of fresh coriander leaves |
| 1 | tsp Ground black pepper |
| 1 | tsp Salt |
| 1/2 | Green chilies |
| 2 | Tomatoes |
| 2 | tbsp Mint sauce |
| 50g | Bread |
| Egg whites | |
| Oil (for deep frying) |
Instructions:
-
Begin by preparing the breadcrumbs. Chop the bread into cubes and place them in a food processor or grinder. Process until you achieve fine breadcrumbs. Set aside for later use.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the fish (cut into chunks) with the soaked bread.
-
Add finely chopped onions, grated ginger, garlic paste, chopped coriander leaves, ground black pepper, finely chopped green chilies, and salt to the fish mixture.
-
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until they form a cohesive dough-like consistency.
-
Divide the fish mixture into 16 equal portions and shape each portion into round koftas. You can adjust the size according to your preference.
-
Place the formed koftas on a tray and chill them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up.
-
In a medium-sized bowl, beat the egg whites until they become light and fluffy.
-
Dip each chilled kofta into the beaten egg whites, ensuring they are evenly coated.
-
Roll the egg-coated koftas in the prepared breadcrumbs, making sure they are well coated on all sides.
-
Heat oil in a wok or deep frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add 3-4 koftas at a time, depending on the size of your pan.
-
Fry the koftas until they turn golden brown and crispy on all sides, turning them occasionally for even cooking.
-
Once cooked, remove the fried koftas from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
-
Repeat the frying process with the remaining koftas, ensuring the oil is hot enough before adding each batch.
-
Once all the koftas are fried and drained, transfer them to a serving bowl.
-
Serve the Spicy Indian Fish Koftas hot, accompanied by your favorite dipping sauce such as tomato or mint sauce.
