Indian Fish Pakoras image

You can leave out the green chilies and adjust the red chilli pepper to your taste. My favourite fish for this recipe is fresh cod or shark. Don't forget the cold beer or lemonade, we love pink! Tasty appetizer popular in India, recipe from an online pen-pal forum. Chutneys can be found in Indian shops, some supermarkets carry some, i prefer the Indian shops or picking up from an Indian restaurant works also !!
