Fish Fritters / Meen Kola Urundai
Advertisement
Fish fritters is nothing but fish with little bones are boiled in salted water, mashed and then mixed with few spices and vegetables and deep fried in oil. My kids love to have this fish fritters, because it would be easy for them to consume without bones. Also texture is too good, crispy outside, soft and spongy inside. I have prepared this with PARROT fish known as Pachai Elimeen in tamil, the very first time I saw and had this fish. It has wonderful colour like parrot and hence the name.
This can be served as a starter or can be served as tea-time snack. Let us move on to the recipe…
