                                        FISH FRY RECIPE 

Method:---Fish fry can be made in the easiest manner possible or could call for different techniques of frying. You could use readymade store bought fish fry masala or make your own to coat your fish to fry. The frying could get better if marinated and left for long or could be cooked as soon as coated. 
South Indian fish fry is famous for its style and can be done with a handful of ingredients.
There are always exceptions - fine dining experiences are 10 notches above the regular food and fish fry is not an exception. It`s a variety of ingredients that create the crispy coat. The difference is that of heaven and earth. While both extremes are delicious in their own styles they are incomparable.
It`s always good to have some fine dining experience at home once in a while because quick and easy fish fry can be done any given day!
Pre-preparation:
  1. In a bowl add all the marinade ingredient and mix well to make a paste.
  2. Coat the fish pieces with this paste and marinate for at least an hour.
  3. The marinade has lemon juice and curd which will cure the fish to a certain extent hence don`t fry it too long else it might overcook and be rubbery in texture.

2) Slide the fish pieces 2-3 in the first batch without overcrowding.
3) Fry till crispy brown.
