Ingredients -
Fish of your choice - 200 grams (I used Tilopia Fish here. Any fish will work for this recipe)
Chilly Powder - 2 tsp
Pepper Powder - 1 tsp
Ginger Garlic Paste - 1 tsp
Turmeric - 1/4 th tsp
Coriander Powder - 1 tsp
Salt as per taste
Coconut Oil - 4 to 5 tbsp (As needed for shallow fry the fish)
Whole Chilly - 3 (Optional)
Curry Leaves - 4 to 5 leaves (Optional)
Recipe -
Cut your fish in your desirable size and keep it aside. Add chilly powder, pepper powder, ginger garlic paste, turmeric powder, coriander powder in a separate bowl and mix well.
If you feel the marinate is little dry, you can add few drops of water to make it a desired consistency.
Rub your marinate in the fish and let it sit for at least 20 minutes before shallow frying it. Be gentle with the fish to avoid it breaking.
Heat up the pan with coconut oil and add add your fish till it is crispy on outside and soft in middle. A rule of thumb is to fry the fish for 5 minutes each side on medium to low heat. Be careful on turning the fish to avoid breaking.
Add your optional curry leaves and chilly towards the end to get the flavor and use them as garnish to your fish fry.
Serve and enjoy your easy Kerala fish fry.
