Fish Fry (Meen Varuval) | Indian Fish Recipes

As I had mentioned in my early posts, mittu loves fish fry and its the only nonveg item she eats. Hubby is totally opposite as he doesnt like fish, but eats once in a while.

Fish Fry Recipe - Ingredients

• Fish - 5 to 6 pieces (I used Vanjiram variety)
• Red chilli powder - 2 tsp
• Coriander powder - 1/2 tsp (optional)
• Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
• Lime juice - 1 tsp
• Salt - to taste
• Oil - to toast / deep fry

Method:

1. Clean fish and wash it twice to thrice. Set aside.

2. In a wide mixing bowl, add red chilli, turmeric,coriander powder, lime juice and required salt. Sprinkle little water to make it to a paste consistency.

3. Then add the fish to it and mix well. Coat the masala on all sides of the fish and marinate for atleast 30mins. Set aside.

4. Heat oil in a pan or dosa tawa and toast the fish until the fish turns dark brown color. You can alternatively deep fry too.

My Notes :

• You can serve fish with raw onions. I love it with tomato sauce :)
• Squeeze lime while serving if you like the tanginess.
• You can even add ginger garlic paste as a add on to the marinade.
• We like fish fries toasted in tawa than the deep fry.
