🐟 Crispy Fish Fry Recipe

✅ Ingredients:

• Fish fillets – 500g (boneless, firm fish like tilapia, cod, basa, or kingfish)

• Lemon juice – 1 tbsp

• Salt – to taste

• Turmeric powder – ¼ tsp

• Red chili powder – 1 tsp (adjust to taste)

• Ginger-garlic paste – 1 tbsp

• Garam masala – ½ tsp (optional)

• Rice flour or cornflour – 3–4 tbsp (for coating)

• Semolina (rava/sooji) – 2–3 tbsp (for extra crispiness)

• Oil – for shallow or deep frying

🧂 Marinade (mix together):

1. Lemon juice

2. Salt

3. Turmeric

4. Chili powder

5. Ginger-garlic paste

6. Garam masala (optional)

👨‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Clean & Marinate:
   Pat dry the fish. Rub the marinade all over the fillets. Let it rest for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours in the fridge for deeper flavor).

2. Coating:
   In a plate, mix rice flour (or cornflour) and semolina. This combo gives the perfect crisp texture. Coat each marinated fish fillet evenly.

3. Fry:

   • Heat oil in a pan (medium heat). You can shallow fry or deep fry.

   • Once oil is hot, place the coated fish gently in the pan.

   • Fry each side for 2–3 minutes (until golden and crispy). Don’t overcrowd the pan.

4. Drain & Serve:
   Place fried fish on paper towels to drain excess oil.

🍋 Serving Suggestions:

• Serve hot with onion rings, lemon wedges, and mint chutney or tartar sauce.

• Pair with dal-rice, curd rice, or enjoy as a snack/appetizer.
