I should admit, even though i am not a big fan of fish, i love fried fish. They are crispy and spicy and tangy and frankly they are not too fishy. I have many many varieties of fried fish recipe in this blog, this is my addition to them. I love them so much, i cannot make them in new ways each time.

Pictorial:
Take your ingredients
You can use any fish..i happened to use some mackeral
make deep slashes over them
Now take your marinating ingredients
You will need chilli pdr, kashmiri chilli pdr, turmeric pdr,
garam masala, ginger garlic paste, lemon juice & salt
First mix all of them except the lemon
squeeze in some lemon juice
add very little water
now it is a thick paste
apply the marination in the slashes
rub it all over the fish
apply it inside the fish as well
apply the marination inside the fish as well
once you have rubbed the marination all over it
this is my hubby’s trick, if you have some sunlight falling inside your kitchen,

just place the fish on it. Let it sit in the sunlight for 30 mins or so.

Now the marination has gone deep into the fish
heat some coconut oil in a pan
place fish over it
cover the pan with a lid and cook for 7 to 8 mins
now the fish must be cooked
flip over and cook on other side
now both the side is done
sprinkle lots of curry leaves over the fish
mix well
done
serve

    Hi aarthi

    If i leave the kashmiri chilli powder out, should I increase the chilli powder amount? I note your recipe calls for 2spoons of kashmiri powder which may alter the consistency of the masala paste. Planning to try for the weekend.
    Thank you!
