Fried Fish Recipe

Here in kokan we have many recipes for frying fish like green masala fish fry, rava fried fish, besan fried, black pepper fish fry etc. But I'm sharing the one authentic recipe that's universal and famous in almost every kokni household. Fish fried this way goes just perfect with any daal or Kadhi along with rice and makes a perfect combo with fried coconut chutney, sabzi and chawal ki roti or you can just roll it in plain roti with salad and gobble gobble while on the go.
You can fry any kind of fish with this method. The measurements in this recipe are approximate you can increase or lower the spices as per your preference.

Yeah yeah! I know it's making you drool, ain't it? 😋😉

Ingredients:

1/2 kg fish

5-6 cloves of garlic

2 teaspoon red chili powder

1/4th teaspoon turmeric powder

1/2 teaspoon salt (or as per taste)

1 tablespoon chopped coriander

Juice from half a lemon

1 tablespoon cooking oil

Method:

1. Clean and wash the fish and pat dry to remove excess water.
2. Take metal bow and crush garlic cloves then add all the masala powder, salt and lemon juice and mix well. Apply this mixture to fish and let it marinate for 5-10 minutes. (You can fry it right away though)
3. Heat a non stick pan. Pour oil and turn off the flame and arrange fish in the pan. Turn on the flame and cook on medium low flame for 5 minutes then again turn off the heat and let it cool down a bit. After the sizzling sound has stopped and oil is settled turn the fish and cook the same way on other side. Serve with lemon slices.
