A crispy, golden fish fry is the ultimate comfort food for the weekend! But getting it just right takes a little know-how. From choosing the right fish to nailing the marinade, here are 6 simple tips that will make your fry irresistible.
1️⃣ Choose Fresh Fish – Always pick firm, fresh fish with a mild smell. Freshness is the secret to flavor.
2️⃣ Perfect Marinade – Use ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, chili powder, turmeric, and salt. Let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
3️⃣ Use Rice Flour or Rava – For that extra crunch, coat your fish in rice flour or semolina before frying.
4️⃣ Right Oil Temperature – Heat oil well before frying. Medium flame is best to ensure the fish cooks evenly inside and stays crispy outside.
5️⃣ Don’t Overcrowd the Pan – Fry in small batches. Overcrowding drops the oil temperature and makes the fish soggy.
6️⃣ Rest Before Serving – Place fried pieces on a paper towel for 1–2 minutes to drain excess oil, then serve hot with lemon wedges and onions.
