• You can adjust the spice level according to your preference by increasing or decreasing the amount of red chili powder.
• For a healthier alternative, you can also bake the marinated fish fillets in the oven instead of deep-frying them.

• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• Reheat the leftover fish in a preheated oven or on a stovetop to maintain its crispiness.
