Macher Dimer Bora / Fritters made of fish egg

Well here I am standing upto my promise made in my previous post and sharing the recipe of a bhaja. .Macher dimer bora.. or fritters made of fish eggs. Remember I said once  in my Murighanto recipe that bongs eat all parts of fish. And yes to prove this once again....  I am sharing another recipe which is made of fish eggs.. 

Ingredients :- 

Fish eggs - 1/2 cup (I used Rohu fish eggs) 

Besan / Bengal gram flour - 1/4 cup

Onions - Chopped (about 4 teaspoon)

Ginger paste - 1/4 teaspoon

Garlic paste  - 1/4 teaspoon

Green Chillies - 2 (chopped)

Coriander leaves - about 4 - 5 stems 

Salt - To taste

Oil - For deep frying

Process :- 

Its just a two step process.

Make a paste of the garlic, ginger and coriander leaves. In a bowl combine this paste with besan, fish eggs, salt and chopped onions and mix it throughly.  This mixture should have a consistency of a thick batter. Add some water if you may need to. 

Once this is done heat oil in a pan , and scoop some of the fish egg-besan mixture and release in the oil (be careful not to crowd the pan or else the fritters will stick to one another and will remain uncooked inside).

Fry the fritters in medium heat, turn and cook till crisp and golden brown on both sides.

Drain out excess oil. Repeat until all the batter is used up.

You may serve these with ketchup and serve hot with tea /coffee or else try it with bhaat and mushur dal.... whatever it may be but remember to make it a memorable meal by sharing it with SOMEONE YOU LOVE !!!
