Tangy Fish With Indian Spices

Whenever you purchase fish it is a good idea to marinate it and let it rest for a couple of hours so that it tastes tangy great. I buy fish fillets in case I do not want to clean the fish. You wash the fillets in cold water and let the water drain for a couple of minutes before you marinate the fish. You can purchase any fish you like sardines, pomfrets, mackerel and marinate them. The fish that I prefer the most is sardines, you need to add a bit of more chilli and lemon juice to it in addition to the rest of the spices. This gives the sardines a great taste, it is tangy and a bit spicy at the same time.



Ingredients

1 Tsp. Ginger +Garlic Paste
1/2 Tsp. Turmeric Powder
1/4-1/2 Tsp. Red Chilli Powder (According to taste)
1 Tsp. Salt/ or as per taste
1 Tbsp. Lemon Juice
1/2 –1 Cup Italian Flavoured Bread crumbs
Oil for pan fry


Method

Drain the water from the fillets if there is any. Add the ginger garlic paste, salt, turmeric powder, chilli powder and lemon juice to fillets. Marinate the fish with all the ingredients. Let the fillets rest for a couple of hours. If you marinate the fish overnight the fish becomes very tasty.

Take a skillet, heat it. Spread 1-2 Tsp. oil or as per taste. Dip the fillets in the bread crumbs. Place the fish on the pan and fry the fish till it is golden brown on both sides.

Serve the fish hot/ warm with rice and dal.
