Fish Cutlet is a popular Indian tea-time snack and appetizer, particularly cherished in the coastal states of Bengal and Kerala. These savory patties feature cooked and flaked fish blended with mashed potatoes, sautéed onions, and a zingy mix of green chilies and ginger. The mixture is shaped into discs, breaded, and deep-fried to achieve a satisfyingly crunchy outer layer and a soft, flavorful core. Its taste is a balanced mix of peppery spices and the natural mildness of fish. These cutlets are a perfect starter for parties and are best served with spicy mustard sauce (kasundi) or mint chutney.
