Ingredients
For the Fish Marinade:

- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
- Salt to taste
For the Coating:
- 1/2 cup rice flour or cornflour
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (maida)
- 1 teaspoon black pepper powder
- Salt to taste
- Oil for frying
Optional Garnishes:
- Lemon wedges
- Fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
Instructions
Step 1: Marinate the Fish
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix the lemon juice, turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala, ginger-garlic paste, and salt.
- Marinate the Fish: Add the fish pieces to the marinade, making sure they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or for best results, refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
Step 2: Prepare the Coating
- Mix the Coating Ingredients: In a shallow plate, combine the rice flour, all-purpose flour, black pepper powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
Step 3: Coat the Fish
- Coat the Fish: Heat a generous amount of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Take each marinated fish piece, coat it evenly with the flour mixture, and shake off any excess.
Step 4: Fry the Fish
- Fry the Fish: Once the oil is hot, gently slide the fish pieces into the pan. Fry them in batches, without overcrowding, for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Drain Excess Oil: Remove the fried fish and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 5: Serve
- Garnish and Serve: Serve the Fish Fry hot with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro leaves. It pairs wonderfully with a side of salad, rice, or even as a standalone snack.
Happy cooking!
