*Note : If you want more spiciness or heat to the dish add more Green Chillies or Black pepper powder.

Carefully pat down all the Masala onto Fish.

Allow Fish to sit inside the fridge for about 30 min.

Shallow fry until Fish is cooked through and has a nice golden brown color.

Kerala Style Whole Fish Roast

*Note :

While frying Fish You should be very careful, coz  Fish will have a tendency to stick down to  pan coz of Ginger and Garlic in masala.

So what I did is I put a layer of Banana Leaf on the pan and kept  Fish on top of the Leaf. Banana Leaf will give Fish a nice flavor and aroma. Even some people add Curry Leaves to the Oil to get good flavor.

Serve Kerala Style Whole Fish Roast hot  or warm with  Rice and Potatoes wedges.
