Ingredients
For the Fish
- 250 gm Fish Fillet (such as tilapia or cod)
- 2 tsp Lemon Juice
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Pepper black, freshly ground
For the Spiced Potato Topping
- 1/2 cup Potato mashed
- 1 cup Bell Peppers capsicum, finely chopped
- 1 tsp Ginger paste
- 1 tsp Garlic paste
- 1/2 tsp Chili Powder red
- 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
- 2 tsp Bengal Gram Powder roasted
- 2 tsp Garam Masala
Instructions
- Marinate the fish fillets with lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Set aside for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add ginger and garlic paste and sauté for a minute until fragrant.
- Add the chopped bell pepper and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened. Stir in red chili powder and salt.
- Add the mashed potatoes and roasted Bengal gram powder to the pan. Mix well to combine. Shallow fry the mixture for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and slightly browned.
- Sprinkle garam masala over the potato mixture. This adds a warm, aromatic touch to the topping.
- Spread the spiced potato mixture evenly over the marinated fish fillets.
- Heat oil in a separate frying pan over medium heat. Gently place the fish fillets (topped with the potato mixture) in the pan.
- Pour the beaten egg over the fish. This helps to create a crispy and golden crust. Carefully flip the fish and cook the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve the fish fry hot, garnished with a lemon wedge and a pat of butter, if desired.
