Fried Fish is not a 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 recipe I am sharing is very simple and easy to make but at the same time is very delicious and nutritious.
Ingredients
½ kg fish ( cut in medium sized pieces)
1 table spoon gram powder (to use for washing the fish thoroughly)
1 tbspoon lemon juice
1tbspoon ground coriander
¼ tspoon garam masala powder
½ tspoon salt
½ tspoon red chili
¼ tspoon turmeric powder
1 tbspoon ginger and garlic paste
¼ kg oil for frying
Method
Rub the gram powder on the fish pieces and leave for five minutes. Now wash it thoroughly with plain water. Washing like this removes the extra smell of fish;
Now mix ginger garlic paste, salt, chili, turmeric, coriander powder, garam masala and lemon juice in a bowl and marinade the fish in this paste. Make sure that fish is covered all over in this paste.
Cover the bowl and leave it for two hours;
After two hours the fish is ready for frying. Use a frying pan for frying the fish;
Be very careful while flipping over as the pieces can break;
Fry on both sides until brown, you can have it light brown or dark brown according to your taste;
Very tasty and crispy fish is ready to eat. Serve with green chutney (see recipe here).
Have a great cooking and enjoy eating the fish. Remember me while eating, my mouth is watering already!
