For preparing cutlet, first marinate the cleaned fish fillets with 1/2 tsp of chilly powder, salt, turmeric and pepper powder for about 1 hr. Cook the fillets until the salmon pieces are cooked and soft. If there is extra water, dry up the liquid. Mash the fillets, after they are cooled down a bit.
:- You can also marinate and leave it in the fridge and take it for use when required and then cook it well.
Boil potatoes and peas and mash them well.
Chop the onions into small pieces and keep aside.
Heat oil in a pan or a kadai.
Saute onion, garlic and ginger.
Add remaining chilly powder, crushed pepper, meat masala, salt, mashed potatoes, peas and cooked fish.
Mix it well and let water evaporate if any.
:- If there is excess water, you can add bread slices and mix well.
Mix the ingredients well.
Take a small ball from the mix and flatten it on your palm into desired shape.
Dip the flattened mix into the egg and turn it both sides.
Take out and then evenly coat the cutlet with bread crumbs.
Heat oil in a nonstick pan.
Shallow fry (deep fry for better taste) turning both sides to golden colour.
:- Garam masala or any meat masala mix can be used.
:- Can also use coriander leaves or curry leaves in the cutlet.
