Masala Fish Fry: A Homemade Favourite Starter With A Crunchy Masala Crust Recipe

Recipe By Slurrp Editorial
Masala fish fry is a famous Indian seafood dish loved for its crisp coating, soft fish and bold mix of spices. A marinade prepared with red chilli powder, turmeric, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice and garam masala gives the fish a deep, savoury taste, whereas rice flour or semolina helps make a crisp outer coating. Shallow-frying lets the coating turn golden without totally submerging the fish in oil. Serve it hot with a side of onion rings, lemon wedges and mint chutney as a starter, or pair it with steamed rice and curry to make a delightful seafood meal.

Directions: Masala Fish Fry: A Homemade Favourite Starter With A Crunchy Masala Crust Recipe

  • STEP 1.Wash the fish nicely and pat it dry thoroughly with kitchen tissue. Remove any excess moisture to help the marinade stick better and encourage the coating to crisp during frying.
  • STEP 2.In a bowl, mix ginger-garlic paste, red chilli powder, turmeric, coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala, lemon juice and salt. Mix to make a thick, evenly blended paste.
  • STEP 3.Cover each piece with the spice mixture, covering both sides evenly. Refrigerate for about 20–30 minutes to let the flavours deepen. 
  • STEP 4.Sprinkle rice flour on it and semolina over the marinated fish. Turn the pieces lightly so that they get lightly coated. This helps make a crisp, golden crust when the fish gets fried evenly.
  • STEP 5.In a pan, heat oil in a frying pan over medium flame. Place the fish pieces in a single layer and then fry for about 3 to 5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the coating turns crisp and the fish gets cooked through nicely. 
  • STEP 6.Transfer the prepared fish to a plate lined with kitchen tissue to soak up the excess oil. Garnish with chopped coriander and serve hot with onion rings, lemon wedges and the mint chutney.
