Fish is not very common food in Pakistan except for the coastal areas. But it is eaten all over Pakistan as an exotic food item or a side dish to dinner. Fish is very nutritious and is best source of Omega 3 fatty acids which are considered good for human health, all over the world. The Fried Fish recipe I am sharing is very simple and easy to make but at the same time is very delicious and nutritious.
Ingredients for Fried Fish
½ kg fish (cut into medium sized pieces)
1 tbsp. gram powder (to use for washing the fish thoroughly)
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1tbsp. ground coriander
¼ tsp. garam masala powder
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. red chili
¼ tsp. turmeric powder
1 tbsp. ginger and garlic paste
