Instructions
 

Directions

  • Clean fish properly and pat dry on paper towel or kitchen towels.
  • Sprinkle turmeric over the fish fillets and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, In a medium bowl, mix together the green chili paste, ginger garlic paste, vinegar, lemon juice, red chili, Dijon mustard, cumin, chaat masala, garam masala powder and salt.
  • Rub this marination over the fish fillets.
  • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to blend flavors.
  • When ready to cook, set the fish out of the refrigerator.
  • Heat up 1 tablespoon olive oil in a heavy bottomed pan over medium heat.
  • Sprinkle rice flour over the marinated fish.
  • Mix until well combined. The liquid in the marinade and from the fish should be enough to moisten the rice flour.
  • Pan fry the fish on medium low heat in a single layer, flipping midway to brown on both sides. It took me about 4 minutes per sides.
  • Remove from the pan and transfer into a serving platter. Tangy Pan Fried Fish is ready to serve.
