FISH FRY

The recipe is as below,

INGREDIENTS :

Fish                                            –   6 pcs (Cleaned and sliced)
Chilli powder                              –   2 tsp
Chilli chicken masala                 –   1 tsp
Salt                                            –   1 tsp (as required)
Rice flour or cornflour mix         –   1 tsp.
Turmeric powder                       –   ½ tsp.
curd or lime juice                       -    1 tsp ( optional if required).

PREPARATION :

1) Wash the fish pieces well .

2) Marinate the fish with salt , chilli powder , chilli chicken powder , turmeric powder , rice flour or cornflour mix and mix well and let it rest for 3 to 4 hours ( minimum 1 hour).

3) After marinating you can keep in fridge for 1 hour or even in direct sunlight for an hour for the masala to set with the fish pieces.

4) During marinating if the fish looks very dry then you can add 1 tsp of curd or a tsp of lime juice.
5) Cornflour mix or rice mix helps the masalas to hold the fish firmly so you can either rice flour or cornflour mix , but I recommend rice flour as it works better and also gives very crispy fry.
6) After 3 to 4 hours for resting fry the fish pieces in required oil till it turns golden brown on both sides.

7) Serve hot!!
