Offcourse my mom helped me with this fish roe recipe over a long phone call. She said that this recipe is will be unique and innovative and was happy to assist me.

Hubby got some mackerels to make stuffed mackerel and mackerel curry. The fishmonger had cut and cleaned the fish. The fishmonger wanted to discard the fish roe. Hubby told him not to discard as we love to eat it.

I followed the same recipe for this as prawns danger or prawns cutlets. The recipe is very simple. Just mix all the ingredients with gentle hands and shallow fry. I did not coat the gaboli danger with rava. I just shallow fried it on tava or frying pan.

We have not added ginger or garlic in this recipe. The fish roe cutlets are made with some masalas, tamarind paste, chopped onion and fish roe. Check the recipe below. Also there are many ways to cook fish roe.

These fish roe danger or fish roe cutlets were delicious. My family loved it and showered praises, especially the little one. You can serve the fish roe cutlets with tomato sauce or have it was a side dish with fish curry rice. Serve fish roe cutlets as appetizers.
