3. 3

   Remove fish and place in a medium sized bowl. Add a little more oil to the skillet and then saute the onions till golden brown.

4. 4

   Add the ginger and garlic and saute a couple of minutes more. Add the rest of the spice mix and saute a little longer, then add the tomato paste, cilantro, green chiles and garam masala and heat through.

5. 5

   Add this spicy onion mixture, along with the mashed potatoes and cooked green peas, to the fish in the bowl, and mix well.

6. 6

   Do not add too much potato, just enough to bind the fish. Shape into patties, then dip into the beaten eggs, then in the bread crumbs placed in a shallow bowl, into the egg once again, followed again by the bread crumbs.

7. 7

   You can do the egg-bread crumbling procedure just once, but doing it twice makes for crunchier patties.

8. 8

   Saute patties in hot coconut oil until brown on all sides. Drain on paper towels and serve.
