Clean and cut Fish fillet into very small pieces and keep it aside. Mash the potatoes and keep it aside

Now add the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and garam masala powder and saute for a few seconds.
Add the fish pieces and salt. Cook the fish on all sides. When the fish is opaque (cooked), mash it lightly with the spoon
Add the mashed potatoes and stir to combine well with the masala and fish. Cook together till mixture is dry.
Sprinkle black pepper powder, amchur powder and coriander leaves, mix well and remove from heat. Allow to cool completely
Whisk the egg, season lightly with salt and pepper in a shallow bowl. Take breadcrumbs in another bowl.
Pinch lime-sized balls of the fish filling, shape into cutlets or as desired
Dip each patty in the egg, then roll generously in breadcrumbs. Transfer to a large tray or plate. Do until completed
