Let's Make Fish Patties 🥟

_Source

Today I thought to add a new thing to my monotonous daily routine. Amma was also not at home today. But with her help and guidance, I tried the patties-making recipe.

It was my first time making patties all alone. It is not that hard if you have got the needed ingredients. I had a fish can at home. I guess it is a budget-friendly food too. Maybe I felt like that because luckily I had needed stuff at home already.

-Ingredients for the filling:
*A small fish can
*A potato(optional)
*Onion(as u want, maybe 1 or 2)
*2 green chillies
*Salt 1/4 teaspoon, chili pieces 1/2 tea sp., black pepper powder 1 tea sp.
*curry leaves
*coconut oil 1 tablespoon

-Ingredients for the dough
*Flour 250g
*Magarin/Butter 75g (Instead, you can use oil)
*1/2 teaspoon of salt
*cool water

Cut the onion and green chilies into small pieces. When making the filling we have to add oil to the pan you use and leave it for a while to heat. Then add curry leaves, onion, and green chilies. Then add the other ingredients such as salt, and chili pieces into that. After leaving it for a while, add the chopped fish to that. After adding it, it's better to turn off the heat. Mix it and add black pepper powder to that. You can give a taste test and add salt accordingly.

Dough-making part is the tiring one. At first mix flour together with butter. Then add cool water from time to time while mixing it until it becomes a thick, malleable mixture of flour. Mix it properly for some time for better results. If you are not gonna make it immediately you can keep it in the fridge too.

_{Kept this again in the oven for more 5- 10 mins}

Then keep the dough on a clean surface. Put some flour not to make it sticky everywhere. Use a roller and make a flat thick layer out of it. There is a small gadget to get the shape of patties or you can use a fork. Optionally you can use an egg to egg wash the patties you made. It will make them golden colour.

Put it in the oven for 30 mins under the heat of 180 *C or fry it according to your preference. We can make around 18-20 by using above mentioned amount of ingredients.

Give it a try!
