Good evening to all my Hive friends. Today, I’m excited to share one of my favorite Sri Lankan snacks with you—delicious and nutritious potato and fish cutlets. I’ve been eager to make this for a while since I haven’t prepared a snack in quite some time. Not only are these cutlets crispy and flavorful on the outside, but they’re also packed with nutritious ingredients. Since I’m using ingredients readily available at home, there’s no need to worry. I say that because store-bought snacks often lead to various health issues. So, let’s dive into how to make this tasty cutlet!
Required Ingredients...
🍀 A large boiled and mashed potato.
🍀 A medium-sized boiled and mashed carrot.
🍀 A piece of boiled and mashed fish.
🍀 A finely chopped onion.
🍀 A few finely chopped curry leaves.
🍀 A cardamom pod.
🍀 Green chillies, finely chopped.
🍀 A little crushed garlic.
🍀 breadcrumbs 75g.
🍀 1 or 2 egg.
🍀 Coconut oil for frying.
🍀 Salt as needed.
🍀 1 Teaspoon of pepper powder.
🍀 1 Teaspoon of crushed chili powder.
🍀 1/2 Teaspoon of turmeric powder.
Method of making.
First, take a pan and add about 2 tablespoons of coconut oil. Place it on the stove and let the oil heat up. Once the oil is hot, add the garlic, onions, green chili, and leeks. Stir everything well. Then, add the mashed fish and mix it thoroughly, cooking for about 2 minutes while stirring.
Next, add the mashed carrots and potatoes to the mixture and combine everything well.
Next, add chili powder, pepper powder, turmeric powder, and salt to taste. Mix everything thoroughly and cook for another 2 minutes before removing from heat.
Next, take the mixture and shape it into small balls.
Next, take the small balls and dip them in beaten egg, then coat them with bread crumbs. Repeat this process twice for each ball, and set them aside.
Next, take another pan and add some oil, then place it on the stove. Once the oil is heated, fry the prepared cutlet balls until they turn a golden brown.
So, in this way, the delicious potato and fish cutlets are finally prepared. These cutlets are not only a treat for your taste buds but also a healthy snack. We can easily serve them during tea breaks or when guests arrive. They provide vitamins and minerals, while the spices help boost immunity and improve digestion. I hope you enjoy trying out this recipe, and I look forward to sharing something new with you soon!
