Also called as Maacher jhuirya, this fish kheema can be eaten as is or can be used as a stuffing for bread rolls, parathas or cutlets.
The fish pieces can be steamed too .... but the fishy smell stays.
So I prefer to lightly fry them first.

This goes to Sudeshna's non-veggie food event.
Updated : If there are some fine bones still left in the mashed fish .... do not worry. When cooking, they are visible prominently ... so you can easily pick them out.
But to be on the safer side ... especially if kids are going to have it ... I would suggest the bigger sized rohu or bhetki's fillet.
Thank you so much for sending the entry. That was a great coincidence that we prepared the same thing for the same thing. It feels good when u stumble across somebody who feels the same way and misses those old days the same way like me.

Fish fingers can be done with this ... in fact you need not go to the cooking part .. just add all the ingredients to the mashed fish and some cornflour/besan , shape into fingers and deep fry.
And yes, I'll leave the details on your blog soon. :-)
Thanks for coming over. :-)
Thanks Kitchen flavours!
Do let me know how it turns out ... and thanks for coming over.:-)
