Instructions
For Fish Fry :
- Prepare the Marinade:
- In a bowl, mix Fish Fry Masala, turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt, lemon juice, and ginger-garlic paste.
- Add a little water to make a thick paste.
- Apply the marinade evenly to all fish pieces.
- Rest & Coat the Fish:
- Let the fish marinate for at least 30 minutes (longer for better flavor).
- Just before frying, lightly coat the fish in rice flour or semolina + besan for extra crispiness.
- Fry the Fish:
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
- Shallow fry or deep fry the fish pieces for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain excess oil on a paper towel.
- Serve & Garnish:
- Garnish with onion rings, lemon wedges, and chopped coriander leaves.
- Serve hot with green chutney or garlic chutney.
Serving Suggestions
- Onion Rings – 1 cup
- Lemon Wedges – 4 pieces
- Fresh Coriander Leaves – 2 tbsp (chopped)
- Green Chutney – Optional
Essential Tips
- For best taste, use fresh fish. Firm fish like King Fish (Surmai), Pomfret, or Rohu work best.
- For extra crispiness, use a mix of semolina (rava) and rice flour.
- Marinate longer (up to 2 hours) for deeper flavors.
- For a healthier option, air-fry or bake the fish at 200°C for 15-20 minutes.
- If deep frying, ensure oil is hot enough to prevent the fish from absorbing too much oil.
