Fish Fry - Authentic Indian Main Course

Marinated fish pieces coated in a spiced batter or masala and shallow or deep-fried until crispy and golden. The marinade typically includes red chili powder, turmeric, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, and salt. The fish can be coated in rice flour, semolina, or gram flour for extra crispiness. Common fish varieties used include pomfret, kingfish, mackerel, or sardines. It's served as an appetizer or side dish with onions and lemon.
