    • Marinade – Marinade fish with curd, turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt and coriander powder
    • Masala paste – A special masala paste is made using coriander seeds, fennel seeds, pepper corns, cinnamon, cloves, small onion, garlic

    How to make Masala Fish Fry Step by Step

    1.Grind the ingredients listed under ‘to grind’ to a semi coarse paste without adding water(anyway onions will let out water by itself).Clean fish, rinse it well and set aside. In a mixing bowl add turmeric, chili, coriander powders, curd and required salt along with fish and grind masala.

    Expert Tips

    • Use iron tawa or a non stick pan to toast the fish as there is masala it sticks to the pan. Else you can deep fry them too.
    • This is a bit spicy so reduce chili powder according to your spice level.
    • If you don’t prefer more masala flavor skip cinnamon and cloves alone.
    • I have used vaaval(pomfret) fish variety. You can even use vanjaram fish.

    Serving and Storage

    Fish Fry tastes great with raw onion and lemon wedges. You can marinate the fish pieces and freeze it for about a month. Thaw it, then fry and serve it hot!

      Hi, I tried the masala fish fry without cloves and cinnamon. Fish fry came out ok and I was able to get bitter taste due to raw onion and garlic paste. Do we need to sauté the onions and garlics before grinding them. Do let me know your thoughts.

        No I use raw onion only…with all the masalas blended the raw taste will go….not sure why it turned out bitter for you.
