చేపల వీపుడు (Fish Fry)

Eating Fish in India was a real test of patience(Considering the thorns) and i used to love having it when i have nothing else to do on a Sunday. We used to prefer buying a fish called Koramenu since it has only one big bone at the center with out any thorns. Its easy to cook and eat fish in US as there are ready made fillets with out any bones/thorns. But obviously its hard to get the same taste with a freezed one :). I consider Fish fry is something that can be made with minimum risk and it will taste great for any fish lovers out there...


Ingredients:

Fish(Tilapia fillets)- 2-3 Pieces [Can get it from Trader Joe's in US)
Ginger Garlic Paste -1 and 1/2 table spoon
Coriander Powder-1/2 Spoon
Cumin powder - less than 1/2 spoon
Curry Powder- Less than 1/2 Spoon
Turmeric-Pinch
Salt-To taste
Chilli Powder-To Taste
Curry Leaves
Lemon Juice
Oil


Recipe

1)Mix Ginger garlic paste, coriander powder, cumin powder, curry powder, salt, turmeric, curry leaves, chilli powder and lemon juice in the proportions mentioned above and make in into a paste.



2) Wash the fish fillets with a bit of turmeric and cut them into pieces. Coat the fish pieces with the prepared paste. If you run out of paste, remake it with same proportions. Keep the fish aside for 30min once its been coated with the paste

3)Take a widepan and heat 4-5 table spoons of oil. Add the fish to the heated oil gently and fry them. Dont keep mixing the fish as it might break into pieces. Just overturn it to cook both sides. Overfry adds the taste to fish and adds that extra bit of flavor.
