Fish Cutlet

Fish Cutlet/ Fish Croquette

                                                           

 I am a crazy lover of sea foods 😋. I like to eat it in any form though crabs are an exception. Fish cutlets are my favorite. I used to spend all my vacations with my sister  in Bangalore.Among all snacks mutton and fish cutlets were my favorites.  Thank u Sis 😘😍…. For introducing me to all such stuffs. Our dad doesn’t like getting food from outside 😞. He always favors home made goodies. So when I was at Palakkad (my home town) I hardly get to eat these kinds of stuffs. Coming back to cutlets, here I have used canned tuna.It is too easy to make.These golden treats are always a winner 😊. This is perfect for any occasion 👍. It can be served as an apptizer or as a snack 😉. Enjoy this mouthwatering snack with a hot cup of tea. Okay then let’s get started.
