Fish Kebab is what I cooked at home recently.  Turned out to be awesome.  Crispy from outside and soft from inside. I used King Fish boneless.  However any boneless fish can be used for this recipe.  Try it at home.  You will surely love it.

Ingredients:

  • Fish – 500 gms – Boneless.  Mash it into fine mince using kitchen hammer.
  • Onion – 1 medium sized – finely chopped.
  • Green Chilli – 1 – finely chopped.
  • Cummin seeds – 1 tsp.
  • Garlic- 6 to 8 cloves -finely chopped.
  • Butter – 50 gms.
  • Tumeric powder – 1/4th tsp.

  • Lime juice – 2 tsp.
  • Chaat Masala – 1/2 tsp.
  • Salt to taste.
  • Eggs – 2 – whipped nicely.
  • Bread Crumbs – 2 cups.
  • Cooking Oil – 5oo ml – for deep frying.

Method:

  • Take a frying pan and heat it up.  Add butter and allow it to melt.
  • Add cummin seeds and let it pop.
  • Add chopped onion and fry it until it becomes translucent.
  • Add garlic and green chilli. Soute it.
  • Add tumeric powder, garam masala powder, salt to taste and mix them well.
  • Turn off the heat and allow this mixture to cool down.
  • Take another mixing bowl.  Add minced fish to it.
  • Add all the fry ingredients into the minced fish after it is cooled down.
  • Add chaat masala and lime juice to the minced fish.
  • Mix all these ingredients with the fish.  Mash it well using your finger and palm.
  • Make small balls of 1 inch dia and keep it aside.  Once all the fish kebab balls are ready, keep it in the fridge for at least half an hour.
  • Take a deep Kadai or Paan for deep frying.  Add cooking oil in it and heat it up. 
  • Remove the fish balls from the fridge.
  • Take the fish balls and dip it into whipped egg and then roll it over bread crumbs.
  • Carefully place this bread crumbs coated fish kebab into the hot oil.  Fry the Fish Kebab on medium heat until it turns golden brown.  (If you need the kebabs to be more crispy, then please cut it into half and again deep fry it until it turns brown).
  • Fish Kebabs are ready to be served with Sweet Chilly sauce or Tomato ketchup.
