Fish Nuggets
Fish nuggets are made up of fish, ginger, garlic, onion, bread, breadcrumbs and other ingredients.
Ingredients
- 500 gm fish 5 large pieces of any variety
To boil the fish:
- 2 cups water
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp Table salt
To make the nuggets:
- 5 slices white bread regular size
- Salt To taste
- ½ tsp black pepper powder
- ½ tsp cumin seeds powder
- ½ tsp coriander seeds powder
- ½ tsp garlic paste
- ½ tsp ginger paste
- 1 piece onion medium size, finely sliced
- 6 pieces green chilies
- ½ cup coriander leaves
- 2 tbsp cooking oil preferably white oil
To coat the nuggets:
- 2 pieces eggs beaten nicely
- Bread crumbs An adequate amount
To shallow fry the nuggets:
- 50 ml cooking oil
Instructions
- Take 2 cups of water in a frying pan, heat it, put 5 large pieces of fish. (Pro tip: I have used silver carp fish. You can use any variety).
- Put 1 tsp of turmeric powder and salt.
- Cover it. Boil for 15 minutes. Remove them when done, cool them, and debone them.
- Take 5 slices of bread. Remove the edges.
- Cut them further into thinner slices.
- Take a food processor, put the boiled and deboned fish and the sliced bread. (Pro tip: You can use a mixer grinder if you do not have a food processor).
- Add ½ tsp of black pepper powder, ½ tsp each of cumin seeds powder coriander seeds powder, garlic paste, ginger paste, and salt to taste. (Pro tip: Be careful about the salt as you have also added it while boiling the fish).
- Follow it with 1 finely sliced piece of 1 medium-size onion, 6 pieces of fresh green chilies, ½ cup of fresh coriander leaves, and 2 tbsp of cooking oil. (Pro tip: Adjust the chilies according to your preference).
- Blend it.
- Take a plate. Grease the plate and your hand with a little bit of oil. Transfer the paste from the food processor. Spread it evenly.
- Take a knife. Grease it with oil. Cut it into small square pieces.
- Give them the final shape. Put them all on a plate. Keep it aside for 10 minutes to set properly.
- Take an adequate amount of bread crumbs on another plate, and also whip two eggs nicely in a bowl.
- First, dip each piece in egg batter, then coat it with bread crumbs. Keep it on the plate. Repeat the process for all pieces.
- Refrigerate or keep the coated nuggets aside for about 5 to 10 minutes to set properly.
- In the meantime, take frying pan, put 50 ml of cooking oil, heat it, and put the nuggets one by one. (Pro tip: Do not deep fry nuggets. Shallow frying with 1/3 of their height in oil and the rest above it produces the best results).
- Flip them occasionally. Cook them for 10 minutes on a medium flame.
- Take them out when golden-brown on both sides.
- Put them on a plate. Serve them hot.

Notes
Always choose fresh fish. I typically choose firm fish that does not have a strong smell. Fresh fish makes the nuggets taste better.
I always use fresh white bread. It adds a nice texture and doesn’t take away the taste of the fish. Cut them into thin slices. It will help it mix well with the fish.
Add salt in the right amount while cooking and mixing. Too much salt can spoil the taste.
If you don’t have a food processor, you can use a mixer grinder to blend the fish and bread properly.
While making the nuggets make sure all nuggets are the same size. This will ensure that they cook properly.
