I have chosen BangDa (Mackerel). However the method is the same for any fish.
Ingredients
For the roti
- Fish Pieces (Cleaned and cut) - 10
- Rava - 1 cup
- Tamarind - size of a lemon
- Chilli powder - 4 tablespoons
- Tumeric powder - half teaspoon
- Salt - To taste ( approx 2.5 teaspoons or more)
- Oil
Method
- Soak the tamarind in a little water.
- To this add the chilly powder, turmeric and salt and mix well. See if the salt is enough. ( After applying it to the raw fish, you may not feel like tasting it)
- Now apply the paste to all the sides of the fish pieces evenly.
- Set aside the fish for atleast one hour so that it absorbs the flavour (refrigerate it to prevent from spoiling)
- Now roll each piece generously in rava on all sides.
- Use a a wide bottom pan for shallow fry. Fry with sufficient oil on a small flame till the fish turns crispy on all sides (approximately 20 to 25 minutes)
Tips
- The longer you marinate it, the better the fish will taste.
- For added flavour, add a few flakes of crushed garlic flakes to the masala.
Preparation time: 20 mins , Marinate : 1 hour, Fry : 25 mins
