The Simple Fish Fry

In the coastal areas, fish is a very popular item in meals. Not just fresh fish but dry fish also is a favorite along the Andhra coast. A lot of people have an aversion for its smell though.

In this post I will give you the recipe to a simple fish fry. This is the easiest recipe ever. My mom-in-law once made this for me and when you make it you will also know why I just love it.

Preperation time: 10 mins

Marination time: 45 mins

Cooking: 20 mins

Serves: 2

You will need:

Fish cut into 1 inch pieces – 4 to 5 pieces (I used pomfret)
Ginger Garlic paste – ¾ tbspn
Chilli powder – 1 tspn (If u want it spicier add a little more)
Salt – to taste
Lemon and Coriander leaves for garnishing.

Method
Step1:
Rub the salt and ginger garlic paste well to the fish pieces and leave them covered to marinate for about 45 minutes.

Step2:

Shallow fry the fish pieces, in a non-stick pan with the lid, for 5 minutes on each side.
Sprinkle coriander and a few drops of lemon and serve hot. You can serve it with chilli sauce or mint chutney.

You must be thinking I forgot to add some more ingredients in the recipe. Well, that’s what I thought when my mom-in-law first told me how to make it. But it is as simple as it sounds. Now you know why I call it ‘The Simple Fish Fry.’

Note: Cook it on slow flame to make sure the fish does not burn.
If you want you can also deep fry the fish pieces instead of shallow frying.
