For extra crispiness, you can coat the marinated fish with rice flour or semolina before frying.
Be cautious while frying the fish as hot oil can splatter. Use a deep pan or kadai to minimize the risk of oil splashing.
Serve the Ayala Varuthathu immediately after frying to enjoy its crispy texture.

Storage and Serving

Ayala Varuthathu is best served hot and fresh.
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 toaster oven to maintain its crispiness.
Serve the reheated fish with a squeeze of lemon juice for added freshness.
