Chilli Fried Fish

By Chef Priya Menon

Ingredients

• 250 - 500g of your favourite fish, use whole or sliced
• 1 level tsp turmeric powder
• 1 tbsp chilli powder
• 1/2 tsp black or white pepper, powder or crushed (more if you like it spicy)
• 1/2 tsp garlic paste
• 1/2 tsp ginger paste
• 1 tbsp yogurt (optional)
• salt to taste
• oil for frying

Method

Mix a marinade with the spices, garlic and ginger paste, yogurt, salt and coat the fish. Leave it to marinate for at least 1/2 an hour or more if possible.
The fish can be grilled or fried.
Note: I have used this marinade for Talapia, Siakap and other fresh water fish as well.
