Ingredients

½ kg fish ((pieces or fillets))
2 tbsp Oil (or as needed)
1 tbsp ginger garlic paste (or grated)
Lemon juice ( as needed)
Salt ( as needed)
¼ tsp turmeric (powder)
¾ tsp garam masala (or any spice powder )
½ tsp coriander powder ((optional))
½ tsp red chili powder (or smoked paprika)
1 ½ tbsp rice flour (or all purpose flour)
1 ½ tbsp besan (or gram flour (substitute corn flour))
Salt ( as needed)
¼ to ½ tsp red chilli powder ( or paprika)
1 sprig curry leaves chopped finely (or any herbs)

Steps:

Add the following ingredients to a plate. - salt, ginger garlic paste, red chilli powder, turmeric, garam masala, coriander powder and lemon juice.
Mix all of these together to make a paste. Taste the marinade and adjust salt or spice as needed.
Rinse the fish fillets thoroughly. If using a fish like salmon, make slits on the fillet.
Apply this marinade to the fish pieces. If needed add 1 tsp of water to apply the paste well. Set this aside.
Add flour, salt, red chili powder and curry leaves. Mix all of these. Taste this and adjust salt or spice as needed.
Place the fish in flour mixture. Make sure flour coats well on to the fish on both the sides. Fish looks floury at this stage. Set this aside till the dry flour turns moist.
The moisture in the fish makes the flour damp and it sticks well to the fish. This takes around 10 to 15 minutes.
Heat a griddle, pan or tawa. Add 2 tbsp oil and spread it well.
Heat it on a low flame. Fry the fish fillets till crusty on both the sides.
Be gentle while flipping the fish otherwise the masala comes out.
Fish can be pan fried or shallow fried both yield almost the same result.
Garnish fish fry with sliced onion and grated carrot. Serve with a meal or as an appetizer.
After the second marination, Gently brush a generous amount of oil over the fillet. heat the oven at 170 C for 15 minutes and grill for about 25 minutes. You may need to grill for more or long depending on the thickness of the fillet or the variety of fish.
