1-2tbsp Black Pepper
2tbsp Paprika || Kashmiri Chilli Powder
1tsp Turmeric
Salt
2-3tbsp Rice Flour
1tbsp Tamarind Pulp, refer *notes
Coconut Oil, for frying
Curry Leaves
Method:
Using a blender or grinder, make a smooth paste of Shallots, Garlic, Ginger, Black Pepper, Paprika, Turmeric and Salt.
Transfer the paste mixture into a bowl and add Rice Flour and Tamarind Pulp.
Mix everything well.
Taste the mixture and if needed add Salt and Chilli powder according to personal taste preference.
Clean and wash Fish really good and make sure to put slits on both the sides.
Carefully massage in the grinded masala paste into the slits and allow Fish to marinate for atleast 30mins.
Heat some Oil in a pan and fry Fish on a low-medium flame.
Makesure Fish is fully cooked through and also has nice toasted color on both sides.
Serve Fish Fry hot or warm with Rice or Bread or Salad.
Enjoy!!!
*Notes:
Shallots: If you don’t have Shallots, use a small portion of Onion.
Garlic and Ginger: I’m a big fan of Ginger and Garlic, coz of that I always end up adding extra. Makesure to add Ginger and Garlic according to your preference.
Tamarind Pulp: I used store bought concentrated Pulp.
