🔪 Instructions:

1. Marinate the Fish:

   • Wash and pat dry the fish pieces.

   • In a bowl, mix lemon juice, turmeric, red chili powder, ginger-garlic paste, garam masala, and salt.

   • Rub this mixture onto the fish.

   • Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).

2. Prepare the Coating:

   • In a shallow plate, mix rice flour, semolina, all-purpose flour, pepper, and salt.

   • Dredge each marinated fish piece in the dry mix, pressing lightly so it sticks well.

3. Fry the Fish:

   • Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat.

   • Fry fish until golden brown and crispy on both sides (about 3–4 minutes per side depending on thickness).

   • Drain on paper towels.

4. Serve Hot:

   • Garnish with lemon wedges and onion rings.

   • Serve with green chutney or tartar sauce.

🔥 Tips for Extra Crispiness:

• Use rice flour and semolina combo — it adds a great crunch.

• Don’t overcrowd the pan while frying.

• Fry on medium heat so the fish cooks through without burning the crust.
