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