Servings: persons

275 g boneless white fish
250 g potatoes
1 garlic clove
1/2 small chopped onion
2 tablespoons fresh coriander
1 tablespoon flat leaf parsley
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 beaten eggs
1 cup coarse fresh breadcrumb
2 cups oil (for frying)

1
Poach fish in salted water for 10 minutes. Remove when cooked.
2
Boil peeled and quartered potatoes in the same water for 15 minutes. Remove and mash them.
3
While the fish is cooling, boil the potatoes. When the fish is cool enough to handle, tear the fish into pieces, feeling for any remaining bones (remove them).
4
Drain the potatoes when they are done, and lightly mash them with a fork in a bowl. Add the chopped coriander and parsley, crushed garlic and finely chopped onions while the potatoes are still warm. Add the salt, pepper, cinnamon, and cumin.
5
Add the fish. Blend it well, but don't thoroughly mash the fish. Adjust the flavor to your liking.
6
Heat the oil for frying.
7
Make walnut-sized balls of this fish mixture in the palm of your hand. Dip the pieces in the beaten egg. Next, dip the pieces in coarse bread crumbs.
8
Fry 4 - 5 pieces at a time in hot oil until brown on both sides. Remove to drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
9
Serve with squeezed lemon.
