Recipe

Prep: 20 min Cook: 10 min Total: 30 min 2-3 servings

Ingredients

2 Kane fish (Lady Fish), cleaned and gutted
1 tablespoon red chili powder
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 cup semolina (rava)
1 cup rice flour
1 cup oil for shallow frying

Instructions

  1. 1 In a bowl, mix red chili powder, turmeric powder, salt, and lime juice to form a paste.
  2. 2 Apply the spice paste evenly over the cleaned Kane fish and let it marinate for at least 20 minutes.
  3. 3 In a separate plate, mix semolina and rice flour together.
  4. 4 Coat the marinated fish with the semolina-rice flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure it sticks well.
  5. 5 Heat oil in a pan for shallow frying over medium heat.
  6. 6 Once the oil is hot, place the fish in the pan and fry until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  7. 7 Remove the fried fish from the pan and place it on paper towels to drain excess oil.
  8. 8 Serve hot with lemon wedges and onion rings.

Tips

Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy texture.
