Oat Crusted Fish Chop or Fish Croquette

and more awards :-)

Fish chop is one of my all time favorites . This is a great evening snack to enjoy with your family and friends. I still remember when my mom used to make them, I used to enjoy these chops with a bowl of puffed rice with a little salad of onions, cucumber and tomatoes going along with it....ahhh....those lovely days ! MISS YOU MOM ! 

I have used tilapia in this recipe, you can substitute with Pomfret or Salmon or King fish .If you are using sweet water fish use Rohu or Bhetki. I am so much addicted to using Oats now a days , I have used Oats here too instead of bread crumbs. You can use whichever you like :-)

Ingredients :

• 1 lbs Tilapia
• 2 large potatoes
• 1/2 cup onion, chopped
• 3 green chillies, chopped
• 1/2 tbsp ginger garlic paste
• 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
• 1 tsp coriander powder
• 1/2 tsp garam masala
• 1/2 tsp pepper powder
• 1/2 tsp amchur powder
• 3 tbsp chopped coriander leaves
• 3 egg white
• 1 tsp all purpose flour
• 1 cup regular oats, blended as fine as possible
• Salt, to taste
• Oil for deep fry

Preparation :

• Wash and cut the fish into 1 " pieces. Boil the potatoes, mash and keep aside.
• In a non stick skillet, heat 1 tbsp oil, add the onions and green chilies and fry till translucent, next add the turmeric powder, coriander powder and pepper powder, fry till the raw smell of turmeric vanishes.
• Next add the fish pieces and salt and fry well, till it turns a light golden brown color.
• Next add the mashed potatoes, amchur powder and coriander leaves and mix well.  Keep aside and let cool.
• Roll the mixture in form of croquets of 2" long and 1" thick, keep aside.
• Beat the egg white thoroughly and mix well with 1 tsp all purpose flour.
• Heat oil in a non stick shallow skillet so that the chops dip fully. 
• Dip the chops in the egg white and then in the bowl of oats . The crumbs should be as fine as possible and stick to all sides. 
• Next deep fry the fish chops ,until they turn golden brown color. Do not put too many chops at a time as you need space to turn them so that all the sides fry well. Once done place them on kitchen tissue paper to drain excess oil.
  
• Serve hot with tomato chili ketchup or plain ketchup. You can also have it with puffed rice with a little salad made of onions, cucumber and tomato to go along with it.
