Ingredients

  • 100 g Coriander Leaves
  • 1 kg Fish Fillets
  • 250 ml Lemon Juice Concentrate
  • 20 g Turmeric Powder
  • 50g Everest Garam Masala
  • 50 g Black Pepper Powder
  • 500g Swad Roasted Rice Powder 500g
  • 50 g Asafoetida Powder
  • 100 g Salt
  • - Red Chilli Powder
  • - Coriander Powder
  • - Besan
  • 200 ml Mustard Oil

Instructions

  1. 1. Rinse the fish fillets thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. Rub them with lemon juice, turmeric powder, and salt, and let them rest for 15 minutes to remove any fishy odors.
  2. 2. In a mixing bowl, prepare the spice marinade by combining red chili powder, coriander powder, garam masala, black pepper powder, asafoetida, and chopped coriander leaves. Add rice flour and gram flour to the spice mix for a crispy coating.
  3. 3. Coat the marinated fish fillets evenly with the prepared spice mixture, pressing gently to ensure the spices adhere to the fish.
  4. 4. Heat mustard oil on a tawa or flat griddle over medium heat until it starts to shimmer. Place the fish fillets on the tawa and fry for 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.
  5. 5. Once cooked, remove the fish from the tawa and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Garnish with additional chopped coriander leaves, if desired.
  6. 6. Serve the Coastal Spice Tawa Fish Fry hot with steamed rice, chapati, or a side salad for a complete dinner.
