- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- salt to taste
- oil to fry
Instructions

Notes
- Adjust spice level according to your taste and preference.
- You can serve fish with raw onions. I love it with tomato sauce.

- We like fish fries toasted in tawa than the deep fry.Also it avoids fish becoming hard.

Lovely looking fish fry. My all time fav. We add tamarind extract for marination. YUM! Missing this fish a lot, as this is not widely available at my place.

Dear Sharmi,
My Mother in Law is a goan, she makes fish fry the same way, the only difference is:
1. Use of Lemon is optional,(we generally do not prefer).
2. Ginger-garlic paste gives a good flavor.
3. Coat the marinated fish into plain rawa (take rawa in a bowl and apply on all sides of the marinated fish).
4. Tawa fry the fishes, tastes yummy…please try this way.
