Recipe - Fofos (Fish Rolls)

One half kg Any fleshy fish
3 Potatoes, boiled and mashed
1 teaspoon (level) turmeric
1 teaspoon Chilli powder
One half teaspoon Ground pepper
1 Lime, juice of
2 tablespoon Fish stock
1 Egg, beaten well
Breadcrumbs
Oil for frying

Clean and boil the fish in lightly salted water. Remove bones (if any) and
mash together with the potatoes,chilli powder, turmeric and pepper. Add
enough lime juice and stock to moisten. Add salt if required. Form into
oval rolls, dip in the egg then coat with breadcrumbs. Deep fry until
golden.

A similar dish called bombils may be made using the above method. Here
bombay duck, soaked for 1 hour and then deboned and mashed, is used
instead of the fresh fish.
