South Indian Fish Fry
This is a typical dish from the South Indian coastline. A lovely
meal when served with a salad
Instructions
- Combine the minced garlic, turmeric, chilli powder, ground black pepper, garam masala and salt. Squeeze in the lemon juice to create quite a thick paste (depending on the size of the lemon, you might need a little more or little less).
- Make three deep cuts into each side of the fish.
- Spread the paste evenly all over the fish and inside the cuts. Leave these to marinate for 30 mins.
- Heat the coconut oil in a large frying pan. When nice and hot, add the fish.
- Try not to move the fish, so it crisps up. After 2-3 minutes, turn the fish over and add the curry leaves, in the oil around the fish. Fry for a further 2-3 minutes, until cooked.
- Remove from the pan and serve with the lemon wedges to squeeze over the fish.
