This is a very simple preparation from the south of India. You can use any fish for preparing this, but for best results, I would recommend Seer fish or Spanish Mackerel.
The fried cutlets look really good when served, especially when you use the fish that I suggested earlier for the best results, again nothing wrong if you are going with a normal fillet. But they should not be bigger than say a 10cmX10cm size.
