Fish Fry / South Indian Style

My husband and I we both love fish - especially hot and spicy. This is a very easy recipe best in combination with rice, salads or fish curry (meen kozhumbe). 

Ingredients:

4 Fish Filets (skinless, cut each fillet into 3 pieces, I usually use Haddock or Lemon Sole but it's totally up to your liking)

2 Tablespoons Ginger/Garlic Paste

1/2 Teaspoon Kurkuma/Turmeric

1 Tablespoon Fish Masala (preferrabaly MDH)

1/2 Tablespoon Red Chilli Powder

1 Teaspoon Cumin Powder
1 Teaspoon Coriander Powder

Few Curry or Coriander Leaves (only if you like  greens, you can also prepare without it)

3 Tablespoons Oil

Salt



This is the Masala I usually use



Preparation:

Cut the coriander or curry leaves into very small pieces and keep aside

Put all ingredients together (except Fish and leaves) and mix it properly

Once you mixed it, try a little bit and check if spicy/salty enough

Rub the mixture on the fish evenly. Sprinkle coriander or curry leaves over all the pieces and put into the fridge. If possible, let it marinate for an hour.

Before you start frying the fish, makes sure you take it out of the fridge 30 minutes before.

  

Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan. Fry one fish piece until brown on each side. Taste it and check if Masala/Salt is correct. If not, put a bit of salt and chilli over the marinated fish. If correct, fry all the fish pieces until brown.

Cut some onion rings and a lime for serving. Enjoy ;-)
