Easy fish fry made in a pan with simple pantry ingredients like red chili powder, garam masala and lemon juice. Serve it on its own or with rice, rasam and stir fried veggies.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Oil or ghee
-
250 grams (8 ounces) fish fillet or steak
-
¼ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
-
⅛ teaspoon turmeric
-
1 tablespoon Lemon juice or as needed
-
¾ teaspoon ginger garlic paste (or ½ tsp each fine grated)
-
½ to ¾ teaspoon Kashmiri red chili powder (cut down for kids or use black pepper for low heat)
-
¼ to ½ teaspoon garam masala
-
1 sprig curry leaves (optional or use 1 tbsp chopped cilantro/coriander leaves)
Directions
Mix the spices: Mix together chili powder, garam masala, salt, ginger garlic, turmeric and lemon juice in a small bowl. Taste test to check the spice and salt levels. Adjust as required. Pat dry the curry leaves or coriander leaves to avoid spaltters.
- Prep-up the fish: Pat dry the fish if required and apply the spice paste. Keep this aside for 10 minutes (no longer).
- Fry the fish: Heat a small pan with oil or ghee. When the oil turns hot enough, place the fish and let cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Gently turn it to the other side using a turner and add the curry leaves.
- Fry till it is cooked through completely. You know it is done when the fish flakes easily with the prick of a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145 F or 63 C in the thickest part of the fish.
- Serve fish fry with onion wedges.
Recipe Note
Adjust the masala to suit your taste
