Fish Fry: A Crispy and Flavorful Indian Dish

Fish fry is a popular Indian dish that involves marinating fish fillets in a spiced yogurt mixture and then frying them until crispy and golden brown. The marinade, which typically includes yogurt, spices, and herbs, gives the fish a tender and juicy texture, while the frying process adds a satisfying crunch.

Ingredients:

• 500g fish fillets (such as salmon, cod, or tilapia)
• 1 cup yogurt
• 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
• 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder  
• 1/4 teaspoon garam masala
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• Salt to taste
• 2 tablespoons oil

Instructions:

1. Marinate the fish: In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, cumin powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, lemon juice, and salt. Add the fish fillets and mix well to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight.
2. Fry the fish: Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Remove the fish fillets from the marinade and shake off any excess liquid. Fry the fish until golden brown and cooked through.
3. Serve: Serve hot with naan, roti, or rice.

Tips:

• For a spicier fish fry, add more red chili powder or some chopped green chilies to the marinade.
• You can also add other ingredients to the marinade, such as chopped onions, tomatoes, or curry leaves.
• For a healthier option, bake the fish instead of frying it.
• Serve fish fry with a side of raita or mint chutney.
