Juice of 1 lemon 8. 2 tbsp red chilli flakes (adjust to personal preferences) 9. 1 tsp kasuri methi/dried fenugreek leaves 10. Salt, to season 11. ½ tsp turmeric powder 12. 3 tbsp besan/chickpea flour 13. Vegetable oil, for deep frying Method: • Clean and wash the fish; pat dry and place in a bowl. • Using a mortar and pestle/grinder, coarsely grind coriander seeds, ajwain, black salt and shahi jeera. Add to the fish pieces. • Using the same mortar and pestle/grinder, crush the garlic cloves and add the lemon juice. Add this also to the fish pieces. • Add the rest of the spices and mix well to combine. • Keep aside for at least 1 hour. • Then add the besan and mix well again. • Heat enough oil in a deep pan for deep frying and then fry the fish pieces till golden brown. • Serve warm with a salad. Note – If you wish to make a batter, then add all the spices to the besan, add enough water to make a batter. Dip the fish pieces in this and deep fry till done. This is a great choice if you are using boneless fish fillets – a spicy sort of fish and chips. 100+ varieties of seafood | Customised cuts | Chemical-free | Supreme quality.
