Masala Fish Fry is a spicy flavorful fry made using pomfret fish. Masala fish fry recipe with step by step pictures.

Prep Time10 minutes mins

Cook Time20 minutes mins

Total Time30 minutes mins

Servings2

AuthorSharmilee J

Ingredients

For the marinade:

5 nos fish slices
1 tablespoon curd
1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon red chilli powder
1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
salt to taste

To grind:

1 teaspoon coriander seeds
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/4 teaspoon pepper corns
1/8 inch cinnamon
1 no cloves
5 nos small onion
2 nos garlic

Instructions

Grind the ingredients listed under 'to grind'to a semi coarse paste without adding water(anyway onions will let out water by itself).Clean fish, rinse it well and set aside.
In a mixing bowl add turmeric, chilli, coriander powders, curd and required salt along with fish.
Marinate for 30mins. Set aside.
Heat dosa pan and add the fish pieces, drizzle oil and toast it till golden brown. You can deep fry the fish pieces too. Preferable to use non stick pan as the masalas stick to the pan.
Serve Masala Fish Fry with freshly sliced lemon wedges and onion rings. Tastes best with hot steamed rice.

Notes

Use a non stick pan to toast the fish as there is masala it sticks to the pan. Else you can deep fry them too.
This is a bit spicy so reduce chilli powder according to your spice level.
If you dont prefer more masala flavour skip cinnamon and cloves alone.
I have used vaaval(pomfret) fish variety. You can even use vanjaram fish.

Hi, I tried the masala fish fry without cloves and cinnamon. Fish fry came out ok and I was able to get bitter taste due to raw onion and garlic paste. Do we need to sauté the onions and garlics before grinding them. Do let me know your thoughts.

  No I use raw onion only…with all the masalas blended the raw taste will go….not sure why it turned out bitter for you.
