Ingredients
Fish Eggs
- 500 gm Fish Eggs
Marinade
- 1 tsp Turmeric haldi
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
Batter
- 1/2 cup Gram Flour besan
- 2-3 Chili finely chopped, green
- 1 tbsp Onion paste
- 1 tsp Garlic paste
- 1/2 tsp Chili Powder for extra spice, optional, red
- 1/4 tsp Cumin for added flavor, optional
Frying
- Oil as needed, for shallow and deep frying
Instructions
Prepare the Fish Eggs
- Wash the fish eggs thoroughly under running water using a strainer to remove any impurities. Gently marinate the fish eggs with turmeric powder, salt, and lemon juice. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes.
Shallow Fry the Fish Eggs
- Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Carefully add the marinated fish eggs and shallow fry until lightly golden and cooked through. Set aside.
Prepare the Batter
- In a bowl, whisk together gram flour, chopped green chilies, onion paste, garlic paste, red chili powder (optional), cumin powder (optional), and salt. Add enough water to create a smooth, slightly thick batter.
Deep Fry and Serve
- Dip the shallow-fried fish eggs into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated. Heat more oil in a deep pan and deep fry the battered fish eggs until they turn golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oil and drain on a paper towel. Serve hot as an appetizer or side dish.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For a crispier result, ensure the batter isn't too thin. A thicker batter will create a better coating.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when shallow or deep frying. This will ensure even cooking and prevent the fish eggs from becoming soggy.
- Adjust the amount of green chilies and red chili powder according to your spice preference.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. These are best enjoyed fresh and hot!
