Notes
- If you want more spiciness or heat to the dish add more Green Chillies or Black pepper powder.
- 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.
Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!
