Ingredients
Fish & Marinade
- 5 piece Vanjaram Fish Steaks approximately 6-8 ounces each
- 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 2 tbsp Ginger-Garlic Paste
- 2 tsp Kashmiri Chili Powder red
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder haldi
- 1 tsp Coriander Powder dhania
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
Frying & Serving
- 2 cups Vegetable Oil or enough for deep frying
- 4 wedges Lemon for serving
- 2 piece Chili finely sliced, for serving, green
- 1/4 cup Onion for serving, red, thinly sliced
- 1/2 tsp Pepper black, for serving, freshly ground
Instructions
Prepare the Marinade
- Combine lemon juice, ginger-garlic paste, Kashmiri red chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and salt in a bowl.
Marinate the Fish
- Add the vanjaram fish steaks to the marinade, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably longer in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
Heat the Oil
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat. The oil is ready when a pinch of marinade sizzles immediately.
Fry the Fish
- Carefully place the marinated fish steaks into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for approximately 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the fish and place them on a wire rack or paper towel to drain excess oil.
Serve
- Serve the deep-fried vanjaram fish hot with lemon wedges, finely sliced green chilies, thinly sliced red onion, and a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For extra crispy fish, pat the marinated steaks dry with paper towels before frying.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying; fry in batches to ensure even cooking and browning.
- Adjust the amount of chili powder to your spice preference. For a milder flavor, use less chili powder.
- If you don’t have fresh ginger and garlic, you can substitute with 1 teaspoon of ginger powder and 1 teaspoon garlic powder.
