Fish Rava Fry

Fish Rava Fry is a popular coastal dish in India, known for its crispy texture and delicious flavor. Fresh fish fillets are coated in a mixture of semolina (rava) and spices, then shallow-fried until golden brown. The semolina gives the fish a crunchy exterior while keeping the inside tender and juicy. This simple yet flavorful dish is often served as an appetizer or side, and it pairs perfectly with a squeeze of lemon and a side of chutney. It's a must-try for seafood lovers.

  • 1 Cups Rava (semolina)
  • 1/2 Cups All-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp Turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp Red chili powder
  • 1 tsp Cumin powder
  • 1 tsp Coriander powder
  • 1 tsp Garam masala
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper

Instructions

    1. Prepare the Fish:

    • Clean and pat dry the fishfillets with paper towels. Cut them into manageable pieces if needed.
    • In a bowl, mix together lemon juice, turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, black pepper, and salt.
    • Rub this spice mixture all over the fish fillets. Let them marinate for about 10 minutes.

    2. Prepare the Coating:

    • In a shallow dish, combinerava (semolina) and all-purpose flour.
    • In another bowl, beat the egg.

    3. Coat the Fish:

    • Dip each marinated fish fillet into the beaten egg, ensuring it's coated well.
    • Dredge the egg-coated fish in the rava-flour mixture, pressing lightly to make sure the coating sticks evenly.

    4. Fry the Fish:

    • Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
    • Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated fish fillets into the pan. Fry in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding.
    • Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the fish is golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C), and the fish should flake easily with a fork.

    5. Serve:

    • Remove the fried fish fromthe pan and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
    • Garnish with fresh lemonwedges and coriander leaves if desired.
    • Serve hot with a side of salad, lemon wedges, or your favorite dipping sauce.
