About Fish fingers
These fish fingers follow Debjani Chatterjee Alam’s Kolkata-style preparation with Calcutta bhetki, or Indian barramundi. Boneless fish pieces carry an onion-and-herb marinade beneath an egg-and-breadcrumb coating.
Lemon and black pepper brighten the fish. Coriander, mint, green chilli, ginger and garlic provide the characteristic aromatic layer.
The fingers have a crisp golden exterior around moist fish. Coarse local breadcrumbs are selected rather than panko, and kasundi is offered as a separate accompaniment to the hot fingers.
