How to Make Teste Indian Fish Chop.

Fish Chop

The fish chops are breadcrumbed spicy fish balls. Traditionally served as balls, they should look a bit like scotch eggs (but it can be easier to form them into fish cake shapes). Nice for afternoon tea, as a starter, or simply as part of a larger meal.

Fish Chop's Ingredients :

• 200 g haddock 

• 1 potato 

• 1/2 onion 

• 2.5 cm ginger 

• 1 tsp ground cumin 

• 1/4 tsp chilli powder

• 1/2 tsp garam masala 

• 1/2 tsp turmeric 

• 1 egg • breadcrumbs 

• lemon juice

Fish Chop's Directions :

Cook the fish in the microwave with a little lemon juice. Mash the fish.

Boil the potato and then mash it.

Some oil in a pan and fry the chopped onion and grated ginger until soft. Add the mashed fish and fry. Next, add the chili, cumin, turmeric and garam masala. 

Stir, then add the mashed potato, mix well and fry for about 2 minutes. Take off the heat and allow to cool.

Divide the mixture into 6 portions. Shape into balls (or flat patties as in the picture) and dip first in the beaten egg and then into the breadcrumbs. 

Refrigerate for at least an hour, then deep fry until golden brown.

Serve hot or cold with sweet chili sauce.

Tips -You can substitute any other white fish for the haddock.
