3. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet and fry the fish for about 5 minutes, along with one teaspoon of the blended spices, until no liquid remains.

4. Remove fish and place in a medium sized bowl.

5. Add a little more oil to the skillet and then saute the onions till golden brown.

6. Add the ginger and garlic and saute a couple of minutes more.

7. 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.

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

9. Do not add too much potato, just enough to bind the fish.

10. 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.

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