We all love Indian Street Food starting from bhel puri, pani puri, papdi chaat, dahi bhalle, samosa chaat and the list goes on and on. If you move towards Eastern part of India you'll find there are number of vendors selling "CHOP" aka croquettes. They have variety of chops in their stall starting from vegetable chop, fish chop and chicken chop. You name it and you'll find that variety in their stall.
One of the very famous street foods is Fish Fingers or Fish Sticks. They are very delicious snack /appetizer and go very well with your evening cup of tea. They are also one of the favorite recipes for kids.
But the question is how much hygiene they maintain in their shops. We're feeding those chops aka croquettes to our kids to our family members but always have a guilt in our mind i.e. what oil they're using, what kind of water they're using etc etc.
I have a stern belief that home cooked food is always better than street food. So, I prefer to give my family home cooked food but not compromising on the taste.
Fish Fingers or Fish Sticks or Fish Nuggets whatever you call them are made from any kind of White Fish (Cod, Haddock, Basa etc). Here, I'm using Tilapia.
These fish fingers or fish sticks are first battered and then coated with bread crumbs and finally deep fried. You can serve them with any kind of dipping sauce of your choice.
You can also freeze them for upto 3 weeks and when you want thaw them and fry them in hot oil on medium heat for 10-12 minutes. You're done.
So, let's start with the recipe:
