South Indian Fish Fry

Instructions

1. 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).
2. Make three deep cuts into each side of the fish.
3. Spread the paste evenly all over the fish and inside the cuts. Leave these to marinate for 30 mins.
4. Heat the coconut oil in a large frying pan. When nice and hot, add the fish.
5. 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.
6. Remove from the pan and serve with the lemon wedges to squeeze over the fish.
