Ingredients

  • 500 grams Fish Kingfish, Seer fish, or Pomfret
  • 2 tbsp Red Chilli Powder
  • 1 tbsp Turmeric Powder
  • 1 tbsp Coriander Powder
  • 1 tbsp Ginger-Garlic Paste
  • 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • Salt to taste
  • 4 tbsp Coconut Oil or Cooking oil
  • Curry Leaves for Garnish
  • Sliced Onions and Lemon Wedges for Serving

Instructions

Prepare the Fish

  • Clean the fish fillets under cold running water and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. 
  • In a dish, combine red chilli powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, and salt to form a smooth marinade. 
  • Rub the marinade generously overthe fish fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Allow the fish to marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavours. 
  • Heat coconut oil or cooking oil in a frying pan or skillet over medium heat.
  • Once the oil is hot, carefully place the marinated fish fillets in the pan, taking care not to overcrowd them. 
  • Fry the fish for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Flip the fillets gently using a spatula to ensure even cooking. 
  • Once the fish is cooked through and crispy on both sides, remove them from the pan and drain excess oil on paper towels.
  • Garnish the Kerala Fish Fry with fresh curry leaves for added flavor and aroma. 
  • Serve hot with sliced onions and lemon wedges on the side for a traditional touch.
