Ingredients
Fish and Marinade
- 1 lb Fish rahu (or your preferred firm white fish, or tilapia), snapper, such as cod
- 2 tbsp Chili Powder adjust to your spice preference, red
- 2 tbsp Ginger-Garlic Paste
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1 tsp Salt to taste
Frying
- 1/2 cup Oil mustard oil is traditional, but vegetable oil can be substituted
Instructions
Marinate the Fish
- Marinate the fish fillets with red chili powder, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, and salt. Ensure the fish is evenly coated.
Marinate and Rest
- Allow the marinated fish to rest for at least 30 minutes, or preferably for 1 hour in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to meld.
Fry the Fish
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the fish fillets in the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry the fish for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Serve
- Serve the crispy fish fry immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as fish sauce or green chutney, and a fresh salad.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Fish Fry
- For extra crispy fish, pat the fillets dry with paper towels before frying.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying; this will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy fish.
- Adjust the amount of red chili powder based on your spice preference. Start with less and add more as needed.
- For a more intense flavor, use freshly ground ginger and garlic instead of paste.
