Crispy Fried Fish Balls made with rohu or katla fish ( both belonging to freshwater Indian Carp family) are an unique evening snack or can be the perfect appetizer on a party menu . Optionally any boneless fish cubes can be used to make this recipe.The fish is shredded after boiling or frying. It is then mixed with boiled and mashed potato, some spices and a binder which make these balls crunchy on the outside and soft inside and tastes delicious.
