FRIED FISH – SPICY INDIAN FISH FRY

Indian fish fry recipe is so flavorful and delicious with spices. It is an easy and simple fried fish recipe to make in just a few minutes.

 

Fried Fish Indian Style:

Indian style fish fry is more flavorful and delicious with spices. Spices do not only help to add flavors to the fish but also it contains the natural anti-bacterial properties that help to fight against the disease causing bacterias in the meats and veggies. It helps to add flavors to the meat and veggies without adding calories. In Indian cuisine, all the seafood recipes include spices like turmeric and coriander powder that helps to reduce the stinky smell from the fish and to add flavor and aroma to the dishes.

 

Smart Cooking Tips:

1. Make the marinade separately instead of adding the spices directly on the fish. So that you can check for the salt and spice taste and adjust adding accordingly.
2. Fry the fish in a hot oil over a medium to high heat. This helps to make a crispy fish fry.
3. You can add other seasonings like ginger garlic paste, onion powder, garam masala and curry leaves.
4. You can any variety of fish like salmon and catfish. If you are using frozen fish make sure to thaw the fish thoroughly before marinating.

5. Wait until the bottom side of the fish becomes crispy before flipping to the other side. This helps to avoid the fish from breaking.

   

Fish fillet recipes:

Fish fillets are boneless, skinless and fleshy without scales that you can make a wide variety of recipes like a fish cutlet, fish fingers, fish curry, fish tikka, baked fish, fish biriyani and pan-roasted fish. Fish fillets are available in almost all the grocery shops in both frozen and fresh. I always prefer buying tilapia and salmon fillets compared to other fish varieties. Since the fish fillets are boneless and skinless, it just gets cooked in a few minutes. Also, the fish fillets do not require much cleaning and easy to handle.

How to serve fish fry?

Serve fish fry as an appetizer with sliced onion and lemon or as a side dish with any of your favorite rice varieties. Rasam rice with fried fish is my favorite combo.
