Serves: 2-4
Ingredients
  • 1 pound or 2 large fish fillets (such as king mackerel, haddock, tilapia, or cod) - I used tilapia, love king mackerel
  • 1 tbsp smooth ginger garlic paste
  • ⅓ tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tbsp spicy chili powder
  • 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp heaped chickpea flour
  • 1 tsp fine rice flour
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1 tsp salt
Instructions
  1. In a shallow bowl or deep plate combine the ginger garlic paste,, turmeric powder, chili powder, lemon juice, chickpea flour, rice flour, oil and salt. Mix well.
  2. Add the fish fillets and coat it really nicely. Let it marinate for about 2 hours.
  3. In a large flat bottomed pan, add a teaspoon of oil. Working in batches, fry the fish in a tsp of oil for about 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown, crispy, and cooked through. Remove and set on a cooling rack to let drain. Avoid putting it on a paper towel to drain, that soaks up the juices and spices.
  4. Serve hot with some rice or roti with lemon wedges and thinly sliced onions.
