Instructions

1. Take a bowl and add all-purpose flour, butter, salt, and cold water.

2. Add the cold water little by little and knead the dough. Knead the dough for at least 10 minutes. The dough should be smooth and elastic but not sticky. Keep the dough aside for at least 1 hour before making the patties.

3. Chop the onions and potatoes as shown in the picture below.

4. Also, chop the curry leaves, green chilies, and garlic as shown in the picture below. Get ready with lime, chili powder, mustard seeds, turmeric powder, and salt.

5. Open the can and take out all the fish chunks.

6. Heat the oil and add mustard seeds, let it splutter. Then add the onion and fry them until soft and translucent. Now add curry leaves, green chilies, and garlic. Stir and fry them for 2 minutes under medium flame.

7. Add potatoes and fry them for another 2 minutes under low flame. Stir occasionally to avoid burning.

8. Now add the fish chunks, turmeric powder, chili powder, salt, and water.

9. Mash the fish chunks a little and mix everything well. Cook covered under medium flame for 3 minutes.

10. Now take off the lid and mash everything again. Cook uncovered under the low flame until all the water disappears. For me, it takes about 2 minutes. Finally, switch off the flame and add the lime juice. Give one last good mix.

11. Get ready with all the things you need to make the patties.

12. Take the floured surface with roller and patties cutter. Dust everything with the all-purpose flour. Now take a small ball from the dough and roll out that in the floured surface to a thin layer as shown in the picture below.

13. Now put that thin layer on top of the patties cutter. Fill the curry using a spoon as shown in the picture below.

14. At last, close and tighten the patties cutter. Take out the excess part of that thin layer and then open it.

15. Do the same to as many patties as you want until the curry finish.

16. Heat the oil in a deep fry wok and place the patties carefully. Fry them under medium flame until they turn to light brown.

17. This is how to make the best and tasty Sri Lankan style fish patties recipe. Serve and enjoy this delicious snack with your family or friends.

Notes

1. If you don’t like little spiciness, you can reduce the amount of chili powder and green chilies.

2. Use the tastiest canned salmon fish

3. Here I used the patties cutter for making the patties in shape. If you don’t have patties cutter, you can use the fork. If you want to know how to make patties with the fork, ask me in the comment box below.
