Special fish fry
Ingredients:
3 large Tilapia fish
5-6 small red onions
4 large Kashmiri dried chilies
Rock salt
1 spoonful rice flour
½ spoonful all-purpose flour
Small spoonful ginger-garlic paste
¾ spoonful chili powder
½ spoonful coriander powder
¼ spoonful turmeric powder
Salt to taste
¼ spoonful black pepper powder
1 spoonful vinegar
Cooking oil
Curry leaves
2 slices of onion
Preparation
Clean and wash the fish thoroughly.Make incisions on the fish to help the masala penetrate.In a mixer, add red onions and Kashmiri dried chilies. Add a little rock salt and a little water. Grind it coarsely In a bowl, combine rice flour, all-purpose flour, and ginger-garlic paste. Add the coarsely ground onion and chili paste to the bowl. Add chili powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, and salt.Add black pepper powder and vinegar (or lime juice).Mix everything well with a spoon, gradually adding a little water to achieve the right consistency for a masala paste. Taste and adjust salt if necessary.Mix by hand to ensure a good consistency (use gloves if preferred).Take the fish and apply the masala generously, ensuring it gets into the incisions and covers the entire fish.
Make sure the masala penetrates deeply into the large fish for better flavor.Marinate the fish for at least one hour to allow the flavors to soak in. After one hour, heat a frying pan on a low to medium flame.Add 3-4 spoonfuls of oil, or slightly more.
Once the oil is hot, place the fish in the pan with the side that has more masala facing down. Apply a little more masala on the top side of the fish as some might have come off.Keep the flame low to medium, even slightly lower if needed, to prevent the masala from detaching.Allow the bottom masala to crisp up before flipping.Carefully flip the fish once the masala on the bottom is cooked and attached, ensuring it doesn’t break.Cook the other side similarly. To cook the sides, carefully tilt the fish and allow the sides to get crispy in the oil.Continue flipping and tilting the fish 3-4 times to ensure it’s thoroughly cooked and crispy.Transfer the fried fish to a plate.Add more oil to the pan if needed and repeat the frying process for the remaining fish.
