Ingredients
500g Perch fillets cut into cubes
3 Tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons ginger-garlic paste
2 tablespoons plain yoghurt
Salt to taste (note that the chat masala has salt)
3 tablespoons Besan (Chickpea flour)
Oil for frying
Spices:
1 teaspoon Ajwain seeds
1 and 1/2 teaspoon Chat Masala
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon red chilli powder
Instructions
Mix the fish fillets with all the ingredients except the chickpea flour (Besan).
Let them marinate for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes add the Chickpea flour and mix very carefully to coat every piece.
Put a pan with plenty of oil over medium-high heat.
When the oil is hot enough, add the marinated fish cubes and fry them until they are crispy and golden.
Serve them hot with the yoghurt sauce or Mint Chutney.
Notes
Tips and Tricks:
Chat Masala has salt in it, so be careful when adding salt to the marination.
Fry them in small batches otherwise, they can break.
