Masala Fish
This masala fish recipe is a popular takeaway appetiser that goes well with homemade naan and salad. Flaky cod fish coated in a spicy batter and deep-fried until crispy and golden brown.
Ingredients
- 500 g Fish Cod
- 1 tbsp Coriander Seeds
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Crushed Chillies
- 1 tsp Chilli Powder
- 1 tsp Turmeric Powder
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1 tsp Garam Masala
- 2 tsp Garlic Paste
- 1 tbsp Gram Flour
- 1 tsp Dried Fenugreek Leaves
- 1 tbsp Oil
Instructions
- Chop the cod fish into small pieces then pat dry thoroughly to ensure that the fish will be crispy.
- Add the rest of the ingredients into a bowl and mix until well combined.
- Add the fish into the mixture and spread all over the fish.
- Heat up oil for deep frying until medium-hot ensuring that the oil is not too hot – to test this you can add a drop of the masala into the oil, and it should rise with tiny bubbles surrounding it.
- Add the fish to the hot oil - there should be tiny bubbles surrounding them – and allow them to cook undisturbed for 5 minutes until golden brown before flipping and allowing them to cook for another 5 minutes until golden brown on the other side.
- Serve as a starter or as a main with salad and plain naan bread!
