Kentucky Fried Croquettes

We love tucking into these Kentucky Fried Croquettes, where crispy perfection meets irresistible flavour. Our croquettes are crafted using only the finest ingredients, based on the original KFC blend, and fried to golden-brown perfection. So satisfying!

Ingredients

  • 240g Basa (chopped into small pieces)
  • 3 large potatoes
  • 2 cups of fine cornmeal
  • 1/2 tbsp dried thyme, basil and oregano
  • 1 tbsp celery salt 
  • 1 tbsp dried mustard
  • 2 tbsp paprika and garlic
  • 1 tsp salt and ground white pepper
  • 1 tbsp ground ginger
  • 1 large egg
  • 100ml vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 lemon to serve

Instructions

  • Peel and slice potatoes, add the fish pieces to a pan, cover with water and gently boil for 8 minutes then drain and mash.
  • Let the mixture cool. When cold refridgerate for 20 minutes
  • Add the cornmeal in a bowl with all the herbs and spices and mix.
  • Roll the fish/mash into tube shapes - forming a croquette look.
  • Whisk the egg in a bowl to dip the croquettes into.
  • After coating in egg, dredge the croquette shapes into the cornmeal/spice mix, then shake off the excess coating.
  • Add oil to a deep fryer or a large pot that is at least 3 inches high.
  • Heat the oil until small bubbles start to appear and fry the croquettes for 15 - 18 minutes. (maybe 5 at a time)
  • Remove from the oil and rest on a drying rack or place on to kitchen roll to soak up excess oil.
  • Sprinkle some parsley on top (optional)
  • Serve with wedges of lemon and a dip of choice.
