2 1/4 lbs (1kg) hake (steam fish with below spices and flake or mash)
1 tsp. cumin powder (if available)
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
2 tsp. crushed garlic
2 tsp. lemon juice
2 to 3 green chillies split center (remove this after steamed)
-------------
2 to 3 medium potatoes, steamed and mashed
2 slices bread, soaked then squeezed dry of water
thinly sliced green chillies, to taste
1 cup finely chopped coriander leaves
1 egg, well beaten
bread crumbs, panko or coating

To the steamed fish add the mashed potatoes. Crumble the moist bread in, add the sliced green chillies and coriander.

Add more salt and black pepper, to taste and 1 beaten egg, if desired. Mix well and knead (in processor if desired).

Form flat patties about 3/4-1" (2 to 3cm) thick, dip in egg and coat with crumbs or your desired coating and shallow fry until brown, turning once to brown the other side.

Extra cakes may be frozen even after having been coated with egg and crumbs. When removing from freezer, do not leave to defrost until very soft, fry when a little firm.

Serve with desired sauce or as a side dish, delicious on buttered bread as well.
