combine water, 1/4 tsp chili powder, salt, pepper and eggs in small bowl. Stirring well with a whisk.
Place bread in food processor,pulse until coarse and measures 1/2 cup.  Add 2tbsp egg mixture, fish, parsley and garlic. process until a thick dough forms. Shape into 16 (1in ) balls.

Heat oil in large skillet over med-high heat. dredge fish balls in flour and dip in remaining egg mixture. Add fish balls to pan and saute for 10 min, or until brown on all sides.
