Fish Fry Recipe
This is a slightly elaborate yet easy recipe for a Fish Fry. It is my mother-in-laws' twist to a regular Fish Fry recipe. It is so tasty that the extra time involved is well worth the effort!
Ingredients
Choice of fish (If residing in the U.S, I prefer Catfish) - 4 fillets
Ginger-Garlic paste - 1 tsp
Turmeric powder - 2 pinches
Tomato - 1
Onion - half of medium sized onion
Green chillies - 1 or 2 (as per choice)
Cloves - 4
Cinnamon sticks - 2 medium size
Shahijeera - 2 pinches
Coriander/Dhaniya powder - 0.5 tsp
Garam Masala powder - 2 pinches
Salt and Chilly powder - to taste
Juice of lemon - 2 tbs
Cilantro/Coriander - to garnish
Directions
Cut the fish fillets into square pieces and Marinade with ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, salt and chilly powder. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Heat half cup oil in a skillet and shallow fry the fish pieces until they turn into a golden color. Remove and drain excess oil on a kitchen towel or sheet.
Grind tomato, onion, green chillies, shahijeera, cloves and cinnamon sticks into a smooth paste (masala) by adding half a cup water.
Heat a skillet and add 2 tbs oil. Add ground masala, adjust salt and chilly powder as per taste, add coriander powder and garam masala and cook on low-medium flame, stirring the mixture now and then.
Continue cooking until the water begins to evaporate and masala thickens. Now add the fried fish pieces and move them around until the masala coats the pieces on all sides.
Fry on low-medium until the masala totally coats/is absorbed by the fish pieces and acquires a brown color.
Serve Hot. Squeeze juice of lime and garnish with cilantro before serving.
