Now add tomato, green chilli fry for 2 minutes. Again add fish, turmeric powder and chilli powder. Stir for another 3-4 minutes. Excess water from the boiled fish maximum evaporates at this stage.

Add 1/2 tsp salt, coriander leaves, butter and garam masala. Stir for another 1 minute. Switch off the heat, fish filling is ready now. Fish filling texture is shown below:

Cut the hard ends from the bread slices. Put mashed potatos and bread slices in a large bowl. Add the remaining salt, black pepper powder and roasted cumin powder in it. Mash well and mix thoroughly.

Take gram flour and put 1/2 cup water and blend it. Now pour it in a bowl.

Take one ball from potato-bread slice mixture, flat in on palm, put 1 tbsp fish filling in it. Roll the potato-bread slice mixture, so that it covers the fish filling from each side very well. Give a cyllindrical shape to each kabab by pressing with palms lightly. Dip each kabab in gram flour mixture and coat with bread crumb thoroughly.

Follow the same process, while making all the kababs.

Heat oil in a wok. At a time, put 4-6 kababs. Deep fry each side till light brown and crispy.

Drain on paper towel, so that excess oil absorbs.

Garnish with onion rings and sprinkle chaat masala on the top of the kababs.
