Fish fry (method 2) | Vanjaram fish fry

I have previously posted a similar recipe with slight variation in the ingredients. Though I use the previous method to fry all the variety of fishes, I follow the below recipe sometimes to fry especially vanjaram/seer variety,because with less ingredients we feel the flavor and taste of the fish.It will also taste better,so thought just to share with you this similar recipe.

Ingredients :

Fish -7 pieces

Curd -1 tbsp

Ginger Garlic paste -1 tsp

Rice flour -1 tsp

Salt as required

Red chilli powder -4 tsp

Oil to fry

Method:

1. Clean the fish : First wash the fish about 5 to 6 times in water. Add the turmeric powder, salt and mix or rub well and leave aside for about 10 minutes and then just wash only for about 2 times.
2. Mix all the above ingredients (except oil)to afine paste
3. Apply on both sides of fish and leave it aside for about 2 hours.
4. Heat a flat pan/flat skillet and add required oil to fry. The oil should cover till half of the fish.
5. Leave for about 1 minute in medium flame till one side gets cooked, then turn the other side to fry.

Vanjaram fish fry

Note/tips :

• Instead of ginger- garlic paste you can also use whole ginger and garlic pods,if you are grinding the ingredients in blender.
• To avoid masalas coming out while frying....... Take care not to apply more masalas over the fish,just apply a coating.
• while frying wait for at least a minute to turn the fish for frying. Because continuous turning will make the masalas dropping out.
• When making the marinated fish to dry, take care to turn other side after an hour. You can do the same process keeping in freezer instead of room outside.

• Also refer fish fry recipe (method 1) where I have added additional compounds for frying.
