Fried Fish Recipe:

Ingredients:

• Fish slices
• Salt
• Ferns' Mild Curry Paste
• Ferns' Ginger-Garlic Paste
• Lemon
• Chickpea flour (besan)
• Rice flour
• Oil for deep frying
• Lemon slices for serving

Method:

1. Start by cleaning, washing, and cutting the fish into even slices. Ensure that the fish slices are of uniform thickness for even cooking.

2. In a bowl, prepare the marinade by combining salt, Ferns’ Mild Curry Paste, Ferns' Ginger-Garlic Paste, and the juice of one lemon. Mix well to coat the fish slices evenly with the marinade. Allow the fish to marinate for at least 1 hour to absorb the flavors.

3. In a separate bowl, sieve together chickpea flour and rice flour to create a flour mixture for coating the fish.

4. Heat oil in a deep frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Make sure the oil is hot enough for frying.

5. Coat each marinated fish slice thoroughly with the flour mixture, ensuring that it is evenly coated on all sides.

6. Carefully place the coated fish slices into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the fish slices in batches if necessary to maintain the oil temperature.

7. Fry the fish slices until they turn golden brown and crispy on the outside, and the fish is cooked through. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish slices.

8. Once cooked, remove the fried fish slices from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels to remove any excess oil.

9. Serve the Fried Fish hot, garnished with slices of lemon for an extra burst of flavor. Enjoy this crispy and flavorful dish as a main course or appetizer, paired with your favorite sides or dipping sauces.
