Don't high the flame, keep it low.
4. Drain the shaped fillets and keep them on a separate plate. Allow them to rest for 15 minutes to cool down. If you wish you can slice them, or keep it whole.
5. Now heat kadai, add mustard oil and wait until the oil hot. Put the flame in low and add the muitha pieces into the pan. Fry them on medium high flame for 2-3 minutes on each side till golden brown. Strain the muithas and transfer them on a separate plate. Fry the potato pieces also, keep side.
