Notes
-
- Do not flip the cutlets immediately after dropping them in the oil they might crumble. Hence give some time to set and then flip and cook.
- After Shaping the cutlets dip in the egg and coat with bread crumbs. You can then freeze them for 15 mins or put them in the fridge for 30 mins and then fry them. This prevents the crumbling of the cutlets while frying.
- Freezing helps the Indian fish cakes to hold their shape well.
- Never overcrowd the cutlets while frying it might again crumble the cutlets.
- Any Fish with fewer bones can be used for the cutlets.
- I am using Tuna canned fish.
- Salmon cutlets and Tuna Cutlets are very popular worldwide.
- I have shown the stovetop method in this recipe. However, you can also prepare the baked fish cutlets or even air-fry them for a less calorie variation.
- Kerala style fish cutlet recipe is slightly different from this method. They usually add curry leaves, black pepper, green chilies, and vinegar as well. Other than that the recipe method and preparation remain the same. Also, the kerala fish cutlets are often deep fried.
