Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté onions until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add ginger, garlic, green chilies, and curry leaves; cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Incorporate the fish into the mixture, stirring well to combine.

Season with lemon juice, salt, and black pepper; mix thoroughly.

Allow the filling to cool slightly before handling.

Shape the filling into small oval patties.

Dip each patty in flour, then egg, and finally coat with bread crumbs.

Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat until shimmering.

Fry the patties in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Serve warm with dipping sauce of choice.
