FISH FRY

Many people thinks for fish fry need to add so much ingredients or masalas but no need to add many ingredients and with a few, basic ingredients we can make fish fry. I learned this simple fish fry recipe from one of my family friend, in this weekend  I tried this fish fry recipe. It turns out very well. The taste was too good… If you are making fish fry for kids, then select the fish with less bones like salmon, raa, cat fish .  I used Rohu fish for frying. Have this fish fry with sambar, this is an awesome combination. Try once this combination, then you want to eat again and again. :)

Turmeric  :   1tsp

Keep fish pieces in fridge for 24hrs. Don’t keep in freezer.  After 30 mins of  marination you can fry your fish, but if you keep this marinated fish in fridge for 24hrs, the taste would be too good.

Next day take the fish pieces from refrigerator and directly deep fry in oil. No need to add any ingredients. Garnish with coriander leaves.  Simple and fabulous fish fry ready to serve.
