Famous Indian Fish Fry

This is a delicacy which every Indian family in coastal regions are used to in their meals as staple side dish.

Used both as an appetizer and as a side dish to the main meal, this pan fried fish fry is simple and delicious and a must try for every non-vegetarian who loves fish.

Here's how this is made.

Ingredients:

• 4 slices of fish. Use a fish which is lean, moist and has firm texture. I used Red Snapper.

• 3-4 cloves of garlic

• 2 inch ginger

• 2 tablespoons chili powder

• 1 teaspoon turmeric

• 1 teaspoon red chili powder

• 1 tablespoon garam masala

• 2 tablespoons coriander powder

• 2 tablespoons of lime juice

• 1 teaspoon salt or according to the taste.

• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.

• 3 tablespoons Oil to shallow fry.

Method:

• First take the ginger and the garlic cloves and make a fine paste in a blender.

• Blend all the above ingredients to soft paste barring the oil and the fish.

• Now marinate the fish slices by smearing the paste evenly on both the sides of the fish and let them rest for a minimum of an hour. Fish usually does not need long marination hours.

• Pan fry the fish slices in oil for about 3-4 minutes on each side or till crispy and the coated spices are well cooked.

• Serve hot with either steamed rice or just as an appetizer.

Enjoy!!!
