You need not go to a restaurant to taste your favourite Kingfish but instead you can cook it in the house itself and still find it amazing by simply marinating and frying the fish.
In this recipe, the ingredients for marination are very simple as compared to Fish Tawa Fry (Tandoori style). The method of preparation includes simple marination and frying. Kingfish is also called Seer fish, King mackerel or Indo-pacific mackerel.
The minimum time for marination is 15 minutes. The same marination can be done for other types of fish too.
Ingredients
100 ml oil or oil for shallow frying
250 g /5 thin slices of Vanjaram fish
1tsp chilli powder
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1tsp ginger garlic paste
1/2 tsp salt or salt to taste
Method
Marination of the fish
Wash the fish slices carefully. Remove the excess water. Add chilli powder, turmeric powder, ginger-garlic paste and salt.
Smear it properly so that it is evenly distributed. Be careful as the slices tend to break. If you want you can mix the ingredients for marination beforehand and then smear the mixture on the fish slice. But I prefer smearing the masala on fish using the first method.
Leave it for at least 30 minutes in the fridge. The more the fish is marinated the tastier it is. If you want you can also marinate it the previous night itself.
Frying of the fish
Take a grill tawa and heat the tawa well. Add 100 ml oil and heat it well.
Now place the marinated fish on the pan on high flame. Do not disturb for 5 minutes. Now turn the pieces. Allow this side to cook for another 5 minutes.
Note: If the fish sticks to the tawa while trying to turn over, wait further.
TheVanjaram Fish Tawa Fry is now ready to be relished! Enjoy š
