Fish Fry Recipe

Ingredients (240 ml cup used)

•½ kg fish filletsOil as needed

First marination:

•1 tbsp. ginger garlic paste or coarsely crushed
•Lemon juice as needed
•Salt as needed
•⅛ tsp turmeric
•¾ tsp garam masala
•½ tsp coriander powder (if garam masala is very strong)
•½ tsp red chili powder

Second marination:

•1 ½ tbsp. rice flour
•1 ½ tbsp. besan / chickpea flour / gram flour
•Salt as needed
•¼ to ½ tsp red chilli powder or paprika (adjust to suit your taste)
•½ tsp saunf
•½ tsp ajwain
•¼ tsp Kasuri methi or 1 sprig curry leaves chopped finely

How to make easy fish fry recipe:

1. Mix all the ingredients under first marination i.e ginger garlic paste, lemon juice, salt,garam masala, turmeric and chilli powder. Taste the marinade and adjust salt if needed.

2. Powder saunf and ajwain . If you cannot powder, at least a coarsely crushed powder would be OK. Add it to the second marination ingredients. Mix well and taste it. Adjust salt if needed.

3. Marinate the fish with wet marinade from step one and set aside for 15 minutes. Coat the fish in the dry flour mix on both the sides. Set aside in a plate. Leave it for about 15 minutes for the dry flour to become moist and cling well to the fish.

4. It can be tawa fried till crusty. For tawa fry add 3/4 tbsp oil to a hot pan and spread it well. Fry on both the sides, take care while you flip the fillet otherwise it may break. Fry few curry leaves along with the fish to garnish.

5. For shallow fry, use oil as needed. I suggest using a small pan if shallow frying, the amount of oil needed will be less.

6. Fry till golden. Flip carefully otherwise the crust will come out.

Garnish and serve fish fry.
