Ingredients
  

  • 200 grams Fresh Rui Fish Eggs
  • 50 grams Besan
  • 3 tablespoons Rice Flour
  • 1 piece Onion (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon Chili & Garlic Paste
  • 1 tablespoon Turmeric Powder
  • 2 pieces Green Chilies (finely chopped)
  • ½ tablespoon Roasted Cumin Powder
  • 2 tablespoon Refined Oil 
  • Salt to Taste

Accompaniment

  • 2 tablespoon Green Chutney (prepared with coriander leaves, ginger, garlic, lemon, and green chili)

Instructions
 

  • Mix cleaned Rohu fish eggs with chopped onion, green chilies, a small amount of turmeric powder.
  • Next, I have added gram flour, rice flour and roasted cumin powder to mashed roe or fish eggs. Next it is time to add some salt.
  • Use it up to your taste. With the help of a spoon, mix all the ingredients thoroughly.
  • Make sure not to use water as after you are done with mixing, it will get a thick liquid texture. Leave the batter for 15 mins.
  • Put a pan on the gas stove. Pour oil into the pan. Once the oil starts smoking, take a spoonful of the batter and add it to hot oil. (Pro Tip: I test with a drop of batter first. If it sizzles, it is ready.)
  • You can also use your hand for the purpose. Reduce the flame; otherwise, the pakora will not be properly fried inside.
  • After one side gets brown, turn them to the other side and let them fry for a minute. (Pro Tip: I keep the flame medium after flipping so the egg cooks through evenly.)
  • Put an oil absorbing tissue paper on a plate, take the fried fish egg pakoras out of the pan and place them on the plate.
  • Repeat the process until the batter is finished. Serve the pakoras hot with green chutney and tomato ketchup.

Notes

I choose fresh eggs to make fish pakoras at home.
Rinse them under cold water cautiously so that the clutter of eggs does not break.
Take time to make the batter for coating the fish eggs. I check the consistency constantly.
I fry in batches for even cooking and right crispiness.
