Pan Fried King fish

Crisp Heavenly ‘Golden Delights’
This classic mouthwatering dish is my one of my favourite !
King Fish is a flavorful fish by itself so it does not need too much masala or anything added to it. This is a simple basic preparation that enhances its natural flavour.
This fish gets cooked very fast, so it gets ready in less than 5 minutes and is heaven on a plate


Ingredients:

King Fish (Surmai) 4-5 Fillets
Oil to fry

For batter:

Besan 1/2 cup
Garlic & Ginger paste 3 tbsp
Green Chilli paste 2 tbsp (as per your taste)
Turmeric powder 1 tbsp
Red chilli powder 1 tbsp
Salt to taste
Oil 2 tbsp
Water (as needed)

To Garnish:

Lemon 1 slice

Method:

1. Roast the besan and Mix it with rest of the ingredient to make a smooth batter 
2. Keep it in refrigerator for 1 hour
3. Keep the non-stick griddle (tawa) on flame and wait till it’s hot enough
4. Dip the fish fillet in the batter (Make sure this masala is applied generously over the fish pieces) 
5. Place the fish pieces in the pan and shallow fry till the undersides are golden
6. Flip them over and shallow fry till the other side is equally golden. 
7. Drain on absorbent paper. Serve hot garnished with a lemon slice.

It can be served as starters and can be given along with salad.

Note: To make this recipe low fat, the batter can be used for marination and marinated fish slices can be grilled with minimum or no oil.
