Instructions
 

  • Clean the fish steaks gently and dab with the tissue paper to absorb extra moisture.
  • In a wide bowl add fish steak and sprinkle salt and turmeric powder evenly. To it add Ginger Garlic Paste ( 1:1 ratio).
  • Now add Homemade Sambhar Powder/Podi/ South Indian Style or chilli powder( I always use Home made sambhar) according to your taste.
  • Now for the crispy fish, add cornflour powder and gently mix and ensure the masala powder mixture is evenly coats on each fish steaks.
  • Gently press the masala mixture on to the fish so it absorbs well. Let the marinated fish rest for 5 to 10 minutes(optional) or you can fry immediately.
  • In a Tawa, add oil and shallow fry the fish on medium to high heat for a minute or two on one side. Gently flip the fish to the other side and repeat the same until the fish steak turns golden brown.
  • Transfer the fried fish to the absorbent paper to absorb excess oil.
  • Garnish and serve as it is or can have as a side with Hot rice. It pairs well with Sambhar rice and Tamarind/Puli Rasam with fresh Rasam Powder Mixture rice.

Notes

To get succulent delectable taste of fish, do not over cook fish.
It takes only 1.5 to 2 minutes to cook one side. So, four fish steaks takes only four minutes to cook.
Always use fresh fish for the perfect tasty delicious crisp Vanjaram fish fry/King fish fry.
