Fish fry is among the easiest and most delicious snacks you can prepare if you have done the preparation. Though the dish cannot be prepared in a jiffy, all the effort that goes into making it is worth it. The next time you decide to cook fish fry, make it in Andhra-style.
1 teaspoon ginger garlic paste 2 fish pieces marinated for 8 hours 1-2 tablespoon ghee 8-10 curry leaves 1 teaspoon red chilli powder ¼ teaspoon black pepper powder Salt to taste 1 teaspoon garam masala
Make tamarind base marination and soak the fish pieces in it overnight or for at least 6-8 hours. This will tenderise the meat.
Apply salt over the fish and drain it thoroughly. It will ensure that the meat is clean.
In ghee, make a paste of red chilli powder, garam masala, ginger garlic paste, and black pepper powder. Rub it on the fish and keep it aside.
Heat a pan and add ghee or oil to it. Add fish to it. Wait for one side to cook and turn brown.
Flip the meat pieces to cook the other side. You can add a few fresh curry leaves at this stage to add more flavour.
Once both sides are done, serve Andhra-style fish fry with pickled onions and beverages of your choice.
