     Fish Fry is a very common recipe found throughout India, more specifically in the coastal areas. Since I hail from one of the coastal areas in Tamil Nadu, Fish Fry is a very common item found in our family meal. I don't like the Fish fries that are served in hotels as I feel there is always something lacking in it. This recipe is from my mother which we have followed through generations. It is a very simple recipe, you can do it effortlessly. Good Luck!!!
    Fish Fry Recipe
    Recipe Cuisine: Indian |  Recipe Category : Side Dish / Apppetizer
    Prep Time: 20 mins |Cook Time: 10 mins | Serves: 10 pieces |Author :Sharmila Kingsly
    Ingredients:
    Cut and cleaned fish – 10pieces
    Oil – ¼ cup
     For Marinating:
     Chilli Powder – 5 tsp
     Turmeric Powder – 2 tsp
     Salt – 4 tsp
     Fish Fry Masala – 2tsp(Optional)

     Method:

     1. Proper and even marinating of the fish is the first and foremost step of this recipe. Make a thin paste of the marination ingredients. Taste it. If you find anything lacking add chilli powder or salt to your preference. Dip the pieces into it and spread the mix evenly and thoroughly.(Note: Neither me nor my mom prefer the Fish Fry masalas found in stores. People who prefer the red-coloured fish fries served in hotels can go for it and can even add a little bit of red food colour to the  marination mixture.)Leave it aside for 40-45 minutes. Ideally 1 hour would be better.  

    2. After 45 minutes, Heat a kadai in low flame.

    3. Pour ¼ cup of oil to it.(Keep in mind that the oil after frying fish will stink a lot so don't even think about re-using it. Use as little as possible.After 2-3 batches of fish if you find the oil is low you can add it later.So don't add it in the beginning.)

    4. Wait for the oil to heat up and start adding the well marinated fish one by one.

    5. Wait for 7-8 minutes then flip the pieces and let the other side fry for another 5 minutes.
    6. Place the fish pieces gently in a tray or bowl lined with tissues so that all the excess oil is absorbed. Let it be for 2 minutes and your  hot, crispy fish fry is ready to be served.
