Steps

1To begin making Croquettes Recipe With Bhetki Fish, for the fish stuffing, in a mixing bowl, add the fish steaks, quartered onions, crushed garlic cloves, bay leaves, crushed green cardamom, cinnamon, a generous sprinkle of salt and about a cup of water to a pressure cooker.
2(You can also pressure cook the potatoes separately during this process and allow to cook and then mash the potatoes after deskinning them)
3Cook over a high heat, one whistle I would reckon on.
4Allow the pressure to be released by itself. Once it cools down on its own, carefully debone the fish steaks, and mash the fish with a wooden masher or ladle. Keep aside till needed.
5Heat about 1 tablespoon oil in a pan, once hot, add the chopped onions and garlic, fry on medium high heat till close to caramelised.
6Add the chopped green chillies, saute for a minute or two.
7Add the mashed fish, tomato ketchup, salt and sugar.
8Cook on a low heat, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes or until combined well enough. Switch off and allow to cool till luke warm so that it is easy to handle with bare hands.
9Form 10 oval roundels and keep aside.
10Sprinkle a little salt and black pepper to the mashed potatoes and mix well till combined.
11Divide the potatoes into 10 equal portions.
12Take one portion of mashed potato in the palm of your hand, make a well in the center.
13Place a portion of the fish filling in the potato well, bring the corners of the potato case together and cover the fish stuffing. (It should be a very thin coating of mashed potato over the fish stuffing)
14Gently shape into elongated croquettes. Keep a plate of flour, a bowl of whisked eggs, and a plate of bread crumbs are ready,
15Roll the croquettes over flour, and dip into whipped egg and roll over breadcrumbs.
16Keep aside in the refrigerator to set, for about 30 minutes or more is good enough.
17Heat oil in deep frying pan, once hot, deep fry till golden.
18Take out on a kitchen towel to soak up the extra oil.
19Croquettes Recipe With Bhetki Fish can be served as an evening snack along with dips like tomato ketchup, Peanut Chilli Dipping Sauce Recipe or Tzatziki Recipe - A Greek Yogurt Dip, with a steaming cup of Homemade Hot Chocolate with Whipped Cream Recipe or Coffee Recipe With Instant Coffee Powder.
