Once it cools down on its own, carefully debone the fish steaks, and mash the fish with a wooden masher or ladle. Keep aside till needed.Heat about 1 tablespoon oil in a pan, once hot, add the chopped onions and garlic, fry on medium high heat till close to caramelised.Add the chopped green chillies, saute for a minute or two.Add the mashed fish, tomato ketchup, salt and sugar.Cook on a low heat, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes or until combined well enough.

(It should be a very thin coating of mashed potato over the fish stuffing)Gently shape into elongated croquettes. Keep a plate of flour, a bowl of whisked eggs, and a plate of bread crumbs are ready, Roll the croquettes over flour, and dip into whipped egg and roll over breadcrumbs.Keep aside in the refrigerator to set, for about 30 minutes or more is good enough.Heat oil in deep frying pan, once hot, deep fry till golden.Take out on a kitchen towel to soak up the extra oil.Croquettes Recipe With Bhetki Fish can be served as an evening snack along with dips like tomato ketchup, Peanut Chilli Dipping Sauce Recipe or Tzatziki Recipe - A Greek Yogurt Dip, with a steaming cup of Homemade Hot Chocolate with Whipped Cream Recipe or Coffee Recipe With Instant Coffee Powder.
