Chilli Fish/ Fish Manchurian

Manchurian is one of the yummiest word... mmm. A Manchurian made out of anything will surely taste good according to me. To be frank this was the first trial of Manchurian at home and of course it came out great. I actually had a hesitation to try this recipe with fish but i had no other choice b'coz i had only fish at hand, so started to do it. Which turned out to be a wonderful dish. If anyone out there have hesitations like me pls go ahead with this recipe as this was quite easy to prepare.... here we go in to the recipe.

Ingredients:

250 gm of cut into small cubes, deboned fish (any fish with a firm flesh would do, or use deveined prawns)
