Ingredients
Fish & Marinade
- 1 large Surmai cut into 2-inch pieces, kingfish
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1 tsp Turmeric Powder haldi
- 1 tsp Chili Powder red
- 1/2 Lemon juiced
Spice Paste
- 1 tbsp Garlic Paste
- 1 tbsp Ginger Paste
- 1 tsp Chili Powder red
Coating & Frying
- 1/2 cup Rice Flour
- 2 tbsp Oil for frying
Garnish
- 1 slice Lemon for garnish
Instructions
Marinate the Fish
- Sprinkle salt, turmeric powder, 1 tsp red chili powder, and half the lemon juice over the kingfish pieces. Rub well to ensure the fish is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Prepare the Spice Paste
- In a separate bowl, combine garlic paste, ginger paste, 1 tsp red chili powder, and salt. Mix well.
Coat and Fry the Fish
- Generously coat the marinated fish with the spice paste. Roll each piece in rice flour, gently shaking off any excess. Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Carefully place the fish pieces in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Shallow Fry until Golden Brown
- Shallow fry the fish until the undersides are golden brown. Gently flip and fry the other side until equally golden. Remove the fish and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Garnish and Serve
- Garnish with a lemon slice and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious Malvani Fish Fry!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Malvani Fish Fry
- For extra crispy fish, let the marinated fish rest for 30 minutes before coating and frying.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying; this will lower the oil temperature and result in oily, not crispy fish. Fry in batches if necessary.
- Adjust the amount of red chili powder to your preferred spice level.
- Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture. This dish is best enjoyed fresh.
