A handful of coriander leaves.
2 Teaspoons of black pepper powder.
2 Tablespoons of lemon juice.

2 cups of bread crumbs.
Oil for deep frying.
3 Tablespoons of water.
Half cup of all purpose flour or maida.
Pinch of chaat masala.

Steps

Cut the fish fillets into strips. Do not make them too thin or too thick.

Cooking Step: Fish Fingers (Kolkata style)

Make a smooth paste out of ginger, garlic, green chilies, coriander leaves and water.

Add some salt, black pepper powder, that green paste, some sugar and lemon juice to the fish strips.

Mix well and keep them aside for 2 hours.

Spread all purpose flour on a plate, now take one fish strip and roll it lightly in flour.

This process will help the marination to stick to the fish.

Do the same thing with rest of the fish strips.

After that you will see some excess marination will remain in that bowl. Mix it with the eggs.

Mix some salt and pepper to the breadcrumbs.

Now dip one flour coated fish strip in the egg.

Then coat it well with breadcrumbs.

Put that breadcrumb coated fish on a flat surface then start rolling with the palm of your hand for a minute. Then you will get perfectly coated fish finger.
