SRI LANKAN FISH CUTLETS

Memang hajat Ramadan tahun ini saya hendak mencuba menu-menu Muslimin seluruh dunia. Saya ingin mempelajari menu-menu yang disediakan oleh teman-teman kita seluruh dunia. Alhamduliallah dengan bantuan kekawan FB saya, resipi-resipi Iftar seluruh dunia dapat saya kumpul dan Ramadan ini saya mengambil kesempatan untuk mencuba.  Cukup menarik kerana kebanyakan masakan dunia tidak jauh beannya dengan kita..cuma nama dan bahannya agak bebea tetapi cara penyediaannya lebih kurang sama.

Fish Cutlet dari Sri Lanka ini lebih kurang samaa dengan dengn cutlet di kebanyakkan restoran daun pisang di sini. Menu ini merupakan salah satu favourite Iftar di sana

Sri Lanka Fish Cutlets

For the Tuna mix:

·         2 medium potatoes, cubed

·         2 tins of tuna chunks, drained

·         ½ medium red onion, chopped finely

·         2 – 3 green chilies, chopped finely, deseeded

·         4 - 5 curry leaves, shredded

·         ½ tsp black pepper, freshly ground

·         1 tsp or more chili powder

·         ½ tsp coriander powder

·         ½ tsp cumin powder

·         ½ tsp Lime juice to taste

·         1 tsp Dijon mustard

·         Salt

For Frying

• ·         4 tbsp plain bread crumbs for coating
• ·         2 medium egg whites beaten
• ·         Oil for deep frying

Directions:

1. Boil the potatoes until soft. When they’re done, drain the potatoes and leave to cool in the sieve. You want the water from the potatoes to evaporate, so do leave them for long enough.

2. In the meanwhile, prepare the remaining ingredients except for the salt and lime juice, and mix them in a bowl. When the potatoes have cooled down, mash them and add to the mixture in the bowl. Add the lime juice and salt to taste.

3. Sprinkle a little olive oil in a pan and sauté the mixer for 10 mins and let it cool.

4. Take about a golf-ball sized amount of mixture and roll it into a ball. Next dip the ball into the egg, and then into bread crumbs. Do all the cutlets in this way.

5. Pour oil into a deep pan, or a wok and put on medium high. You’ll need enough oil for deep frying.The oil is hot enough when it sizzles when you insert a wooden spoon inside.

6. Fry the cutlets for a few min on each side, until they’re heated through and the coating is cooked.
