2. Step 2

   To prepare fish dishes, I prefer to make minced meat myself from fillets. Mullet or hake are ideal for minced meat - they are not oily fish and are easy to process. I take whole carcasses and carefully separate the fillets from the bones.

   
3. Step 3

   For this recipe, cut the onion into half rings coarsely and lower in a frying pan until transparent. Beat 2 eggs into the onion and lightly fry. Let cool.

   We pass the fillet through a meat grinder through a fine mesh; we also pass the onion and egg through a meat grinder directly to the fish.

   Add boiled rice, salt, and ground black pepper to the minced meat to taste. Mix well and beat lightly, leave for 20 minutes in the refrigerator - this way all the ingredients will be filled with each other’s taste.

   
6. Step 6

   Let's prepare the sauce. Cut the onion into small cubes and fry in a frying pan. Add carrots grated on a medium grater to the onion and fry until tender.

7. Step 7

   We dilute the tomato paste in warm water, add sugar, salt, coriander and pepper. Pour into the pan with the onions and carrots and bring to a boil. Turn it off. We form small balls from the minced meat and place them in a deep baking dish.

8. Step 8

   Pour the sauce on top and place in an oven preheated to 180° for 40 minutes.
