Try this garlic flavored, spicy fish fry as a starter / main course; which I learnt from my friend Preethi Jothivel.
Though I used to prepare fish fry often; this base ingredient is different with all flavorful ingredients like garlic, pepper & fennel!. So I want to give it a try! Yummy!
Thank you Preethi for sharing the recipe!
Let's check the recipe now,
Ingredients:
Fish - 2 to 3
Salt - to taste
Directions:
Wash and clean the fish pieces; make incisions and pat dry.
Grind together garlic, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, fennel seeds, pepper, tamarind extract / lemon juice, salt and just enough water to make fine thick paste.
Apply this masala on both sides of the fish; allow to marinate for more than a hour.
Before frying, just add little corn flour over fish and apply it.
Heat oil in a flat bottom pan, add some curry leaves and place the fish.
Turn the fish in between to cook both sides evenly.(Do this in a medium flame)
Serve hot as a starter or accompaniment to rice with fish curry.
You can adjust the amount of pepper and red chilli powder according to your taste.
Adding curry leaves is optional but I preferred to add because it gives a nice flavor to the fish
Serve hot as a starter or accompaniment to rice with fish curry (Meen kulambu); even with rasam it is delicious!
