Iron Rich Ingredient
Fish is a good source of iron and protein. Tuna, haddock, sardines are very good sources of iron. Besides, fish is a power house nutrients.
Tilapia does not have as much iron as the other mentioned fish but 3.5 oz / 10 grams of tilapia has about 4% of daily required iron. This is heme-iron, which human body easily absorbs.

A-Z iron rich food is a series I started last year and post a recipe with an iron rich ingredient for each alphabet. For ‘F’ it is fish. Below are a few recipes from the series.
About the Recipe
Fish cakes or fish cutlets recipe prepared in Indian style is an easy recipe but with multiple steps. Beauty about this recipe is that it is pan fried, making it a guilt free snack and a meal.
First cook and shred the fish, boil & mash potatoes, saute both along with onions & spices. Then shape into cutlets and pan fry. Since these are pan fried, cutlets are soft, unlike the deep fried ones.
For an easier version check fish patties and salmon burger patties. Both recipes prepare patties with raw fish and one uses bread crumbs and the other does not.
Ingredients
- Fish – Tilapia, catfish or any firm fish fillets work. I prepare with tilapia and catfish.
- Potatoes – Use any variety.
- Spices – Chili powder, coriander powder, chaat masala or garam masala or both are the key spices. Some roasted cumin powder goes a long way but it is optional.
- Other Ingredients – Chopped onion and green chilies. Substitute green chilies with chili powder or black pepper but we prefer green chilies.
Preparation
Boil potato (step #1), peel and mash. Cook fish with some chili powder, salt and ginger garlic paste (step #2-4). Lightly mash or shred the fish pieces (#5).

Saute onions, green chilies, ginger garlic paste (step #6), add spices (#7), potato mash (#8-9), followed by fish (#10). Saute until mixture is dry and then add cilantro (#11).
Take mixture into a plate cool (#12). Add bread crumbs (#13), mix well and shape into discs (#14). Pan fry on medium high flame, flipping once or as needed (#15-16). Serve with your favorite sauce.
For deep fried version, use egg as a binder. Add egg to fish mixture and shape into cutlets or shape the cutlets, dip in lightly beaten egg. Then roll in the discs in bread crumbs and dust it.
Expert’s Tips
- Fish cutlet mixture should be dry. If the mixture is moist, saute a bit longer or add more bread crumbs to absorb the moisture.
- Use egg as a binder if cutlets fall apart when frying. For deep fried versions, use egg and roll & dust cutlets in bread crumbs, before deep frying.
