Fried Masala Fish

To tell you the truth, I believe no one makes this fried fish better than my mom! She simply makes the best fried fish. All that had the taste of it would agree with this. I like grilled fish. But every now and then I try to make fried fish the way mom makes it and I still feel that something is lacking! Doesn’t quite taste like it. I use the same ingredients that mom uses and make the same way mom makes it, still something is missing. This fried fish was actually the best I could manage to make to I thought it is worth a post! Everyone who tried it loved it. But deep down in my heart, I know I still have to top mom’s fried fish!

Here’s how I made it.

Fried Masala Fish

1 lb. basa/tilapia(or your choice) fish fillets

Salt to taste

2 tbsp lemon juice

2 tbsp red chile powder

1 tsp turmeric powder

1 tbsp cumin powder

¼ cup chick pea flour(besan)

Oil for frying

How to:
