Fish Pakoda

My Friend Tina always complained that we did not visit her often, so she came up with a plan. She would call us and tell us that her mom prepared "fish". Me and Poorni would be there in a jiffy. Personally I dont like fish too much because of the fishy taste but aunty prepares it in such a way that it just tastes awesome!!


I decided to make this recipe for a get together and called up my friend for the recipe. It still did not come out as aunty's, nevertheless it tasted good. Here is the recipe -



Ingredients:

Pompfret Fish - 2 pounds (I used Tilapia)
lemon juice - 1 tsp
red chillie powder - 1 and 1/2 tsp
turmeric pwder - 1/4 tsp
black pepper powder - 1 tsp
ginger garlic paste - 1 tsp
curry leaves - 6 - 8 leaves
salt

Method:


Fish should be cleaned up and scaled. Rub salt all over the fish and wash it. Do this 2-3 times. I was told this helps in removing some of the fishy smell. Pat dry the fish abd cut into bite size pieces. Now mix all the ingredients and around half of the curry leaves in a bowl and marinate over night. When you are ready to make this, heat oil in a vessel and when the oil is hot add some curry leaves and deep fry the fish. Serve it with coriander chutney.
